FAQ
Can I switch from DOT 4 directly to DOT 5.1?
Most glycol-based systems are compatible, but always follow your owner’s manual. The service procedure requires fluid extraction and bleeding. Do not mix with silicone-based DOT 5.
How do I know when to replace brake fluid?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling point and affecting braking performance. Use a tester to check water content, or follow the replacement interval in your owner’s manual.
