Clayton’s CAR CARE Tips

BRAKE FLUID

Regular brake fl uid changes ensure that a car’s braking system operates safely and effectively.

Modern braking systems use brake fl uid to transfer the application of the brake pedal down to the front and rear brakes, to bring the vehicle to a stop. The fl uid is usually silicone based, which does not compress, giving a solid pedal feel and an increased temperature rating. The downside to using this style of fl uid is that it absorbs moisture from the air. Constant braking causes massive amounts of heat to be generated by the braking components, which is then transferred into the fl uid. If there is moisture in the fl uid, this will decrease the temperature rating of the fl uid, and can result in a soft brake pedal and increased stopping distance. Most manufacturers recommend brake fl uid changes every 2 years, regardless of kilometres travelled, but it may need to be changed more frequently if the vehicle is operated under abnormal conditions.
