Brake fluid

Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Therefore, during the operation of the car, the brake fluid takes a certain amount of water from the surrounding air. Too much water in the brake fluid can eventually corrode parts of the service brake system. In addition, this significantly reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid. Therefore, you should change the brake fluid every two years!

Warning: If the brake fluid is very old, it is possible, when the working brake system is heavily loaded, that steam bubbles appear in the system. This has a negative effect on the efficiency of the service brake system and thus on traffic safety.

Warning: Use only the recommended brake fluid (US specification FMVSS 116 DOT 4).

Warning: Brake fluid is poisonous. Therefore, it should only be stored in closed original containers and especially out of the reach of children. In addition, it should be borne in mind that brake fluid destroys the paintwork.
