How often do you change the brake fluid in your car
Generally, the replacement cycle of brake fluid is 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. But we can't just rely on the cycle alone to determine the replacement time, we need to combine it with the water content of the brake fluid. When the water content exceeds three percent, it is a reminder that it is time to change. If it is more than five percent, it must be replaced as soon as possible, because the boiling point of the brake fluid is already very low, directly affecting the braking effect of the car. To know the braking system is related to the safety of driving, I hope you can pay attention to the water content of the problem. Advocating a 2-year replacement will be relatively good. Car owners in the choice of brake fluid with the following points of attention.
1, is their own car models and the use of brake fluid model matching.
2, is to maximize the use of synthetic brake fluid, and give priority to the use of high-grade products.
3, is the use of professional equipment to implement the replacement. Sedan brake fluid general two years 40,000 kilometers to replace the brake fluid, If you run less mileage, you can slightly extend the time.
4, brake fluid in the use of a certain period of time, there will be a reduction in boiling point, pollution and varying degrees of oxidative deterioration, so it should be based on the climate, environmental conditions, seasonal changes and working conditions, such as timely inspection of its quality and performance, to achieve timely replacement. Under normal working conditions, brake fluid should be replaced after two years or 50,000 kilometers.
5, in principle, different types of brake fluid can not be mixed, so as not to produce chemical reactions between each other, affecting the braking effect. Different models, the use of brake fluid is often different;
6, brake fluid has alcohol-type brake fluid, mineral oil-type brake fluid, silicone oil-type brake fluid, synthetic brake fluid and several other types.
