Brake Fluid.
Keeping your vehicles braking system in optimal condition is crucial for your safety and that of others. Brake fluid is a vital part of the brake system and ABS units.
Unfortunately brake fluid is one of the most neglected items in the car as it can only be under extreme conditions when you need it most that you notice any problems.
Brake fluid deteriorates over time and must be changed regularily to ensure safe effective braking. Unfortunately it is one of the most overlooked vehicle fluids.

What does brake fluid do?
- Transmits the force on the brake pedal into pressure to all parts of the braking system which will apply the brakes.
- Brake fluid is designed to have a high boiling point to withstand a high temperature generated by the friction of braking.
- Brake fluid prevents the system from freezing during icy conditions and extreme cold.
- Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water. As it absorbs moisture over time, the boiling point gradually lowers – this reduces the effectiveness of the brake fluid.
- Once the water content rises above 3%, the performance of the braking system becomes compromised.
- Water reduces the boiling point of the fluid, air bubbles are created and braking can become ineffective
You will only be aware of the problem after heavy braking sometimes when it is too late!! - Brake fluid contamination is now such a major concern that all manufacturers recommend that it is changed at least every two years and between 30,000kms intervals.
- Water in the brake fluid will cause premature wear of the Wheel Cylinders and brake callipers. Failure to change your brake fluidregularly can result in costly repairs.
