Brake fluids are an essential part of any motor vehicle, as they help to create the hydraulic pressure necessary for stopping.
When the brake pedal is pressed, the hydraulic pressure is increased, and this causes the actuating cylinder to push out the pistons, which apply pressure to the brake pads and stops the vehicle.
The brake fluid provides the lubrication necessary between the brake pad and the brake cylinder.

Q1: What is brake fluid?
A1: Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid that is used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes, including most cars, motorcycles, ATVs, and other vehicles. The fluid has several important roles, which include transferring force from the brake pedal to the brakes, providing a seal between the brake components, and providing lubrication to prevent wear.
Q2: How often should I change my brake fluid?
A2: Most automotive manufacturers recommend a brake fluid change every two to three years, or when the colour of the fluid changes. Professional brake inspections should also be done regularly, in order to check the condition of the brake system and flush the brake fluid as needed.
Q3: What type of brake fluid should I use?
A3: Brake fluid is available in several different types, including DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1. The type of brake fluid recommended for your vehicle is listed in the owner's manual or can be determined by the vehicle service manual. Each type of fluid has different characteristics and performance levels, and it is important to use the correct type of fluid for your vehicle.
