BRAKE FLUID TIPS
Add only new brake fluid. Contaminated fluid can cause damage to the sensitive hydraulic brake components, corrode components, and increases the chance of system failure. Even unused fluid that was opened at an earlier time should not be used. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. This moisture lowers the boiling point of the fluid. DOT 4 & 5 brake fluid has a higher boiling point than DOT 3 but a shorter service life. DOT 3 fluid should be flushed every 2 years, while Dot 4 & 5 brake fluid should be flushed every year to ensure a safe working system.
