Product Highlights
- High boiling point formulation for superior thermal stability
- Maintains stable viscosity across wide temperature ranges
- Reduces risk of vapor lock and brake fade under heavy braking
- Suitable for modern vehicles and advanced braking systems including ABS
- Glycol-based formulation compatible with systems specifying DOT 4
Technical Specifications
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Fluid Type | Glycol-based DOT 4 Brake Fluid |
| Color | Red / amber (typical) |
| Dry Boiling Point | ≥ 230°C (typical DOT 4 standard) |
| Wet Boiling Point | ≥ 155°C (typical) |
| Viscosity | Stable across extreme temperature conditions |
| Compatibility | Vehicles specifying DOT 4 (compatible with DOT 3 systems in emergencies; avoid mixing where possible) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good — contains corrosion inhibitors for internal component protection |
Application Instructions
- Clean reservoir cap and surrounding area before opening.
- Use brake fluid only up to manufacturer recommended levels.
- When topping up, use the same DOT specification where possible; mixing DOT types can reduce performance.
- Bleed the brake system properly after replacement or servicing to remove air.
Coverage Calculator
- 400 mL bottle is suitable for top-ups and minor maintenance; a full system flush may require 1–3 bottles depending on vehicle size and system capacity.
Suitable Applications
- Passenger cars (modern vehicles)
- Light commercial vehicles
- ABS and advanced braking systems
- Motorcycles (where DOT 4 specified)
Compatibility & Limitations
- Compatible with systems requiring DOT 4 specification.
- Can be mixed with DOT 3 if necessary, but mixing reduces the high-temperature advantage of DOT 4; do not mix with DOT 5 (silicone-based).
- Brake fluid is hygroscopic — avoid prolonged exposure to air and replace periodically.
Safety & Handling
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes; wash immediately if contact occurs.
- Brake fluid can damage paint — clean any spills promptly with appropriate cleaner.
- Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep out of reach of children and away from ignition sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
DOT 4 has a higher boiling point and enhanced additives for better thermal stability—suitable for newer vehicles and higher-stress braking.
Technically yes in emergencies, but mixing reduces DOT 4’s high-temperature benefits. Avoid mixing if possible.
Yes — DOT 4 is suitable for ABS and most modern braking systems that specify DOT 4.
Typically every 1–2 years or per vehicle manufacturer recommendations and depending on driving conditions.
Moisture lowers the boiling point, increasing risk of vapor lock and reduced braking performance.
Yes, if the motorcycle’s manufacturer specifies DOT 4.
Yes — glycol-based brake fluids can damage paint; clean spills immediately.
Keep bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
For extreme racing use, DOT 5.1 or specialized racing fluids with higher boiling points are often preferred.
Yes for minor top-ups, but take care to avoid contamination and follow correct procedures; for full replacement or bleeding, professional servicing is recommended.
