The special DOT 4 ESP has been added to the range to offer support for vehicles that are fitted with electronic stability programmes and ABS. DOT 4 is also ideally suited to vehicles with disc brakes all round as well as those fitted with ABS. We recommend the DOT 4 brake fluid for vehicles with disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. Further, some Japanese car manufacturers recommend DOT3 brake fluid for their vehicles with ABS and ESP.
#BRAKE FLUID FULL#
With the full range of brake fluids on offer from TRW, you can provide a suitable solution to all types of vehicles, regardless of age or specification.ĭOT 3 brake fluid is designed for vehicles with drum brakes front and rear as well as hydraulic clutch systems. Safety critical testing areas include wet and dry boiling points and viscosity, which helps us to far surpass the requirements of the international DOT SAE 1703 specifications.īrake Fluids - Health & Safety data sheets We aim to exceed expectations in all that we do, which is why we carry out more thorough tests and examinations of our brake fluids than anybody else. By doing this, you will prevent water contamination and debris from shortening the life of the whole braking system. If the fluid is dirty or has turned a dark colour, then it needs to be changed immediately, otherwise the braking systems could become damaged.ĭOT 3 fluid needs to be changed every year, with DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 every second year. This can be detected easily and quickly by checking the colour of the brake fluid.
#BRAKE FLUID DRIVERS#
Owing to the exceptional quality of the TRW brake fluids, high-level performance is delivered for longer, but drivers should still change the brake fluid in their vehicle regularly to maintain performance and uphold safety levels.Īs well as brake failure, not changing the brake fluid in a vehicle can lead to the master cylinder rubber parts becoming corroded.
This is why it’s important to change the brake fluid of a vehicle on a regular basis. This can be dangerous because if the brake fluid reaches boiling point through the use of the brakes, ‘vapour lock’ will occur, which can result in brake failure. Whenever drivers use their brakes, the brake fluid heats up and as brake hoses get older the amount of moisture that gets into the system increases, which means the brake fluid boiling point is lowered. As ESP technology develops, brake fluid needs to act quicker to maximise the performance of the system and prevent cars from skidding. Among the many latest developments in the industry is the inclusion of advanced braking systems in most new cars, including the electronic stability programmes (ESP). Class leading testing techniques to keep you on the roadĮnhanced fluid performance to match advanced braking systemsĪs vehicles become more advanced, our products need to keep up with the constant changes.
