brake fluid

Brake fluid is an important hydraulic operating medium in a vehicle's braking system. It transmits the force from the brake pedal via the master cylinder to the brake cylinders at the wheels, ensuring that the brakes operate reliably and evenly.

In modern vehicles, brake fluid is used in hydraulic braking systems, where brake pressure is transmitted via lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. For the braking system to function reliably, the brake fluid must withstand high temperatures while maintaining a stable viscosity.

Brake fluids are classified into different specifications, such as DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1. These differ primarily in their boiling point and performance at high temperatures. High-quality brake fluids contain special additives that prevent corrosion in the brake system and protect components such as lines, seals, and cylinders.

Since brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air over time, it should be changed regularly to ensure optimal braking performance.
