What you should know about the use of car brake fluid

Brake fluid commonly known asbrakeOil, used to transfer the owner’s braking force tocarBrakesuperior. If the brake fluid is dirty (because the brake fluid moves back and forth in the brake pipe,Brake master cylinderThe metal powder of the sub-cylinder will seep into the brake fluid, and after a period of time, sludge and other impurities will be produced). The increase in viscosity will directly affect the braking force of the vehicle. The specific manifestation is that the owner feels that the brake is too "soft". Therefore, the car owner must change the brake oil every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers.

1. If you accidentally mix gasoline, diesel or engine oil with synthetic brake fluidBraking SystemAt the same time, due to the incompatibility between the oils, the braking effect will also be reduced.

2. If the vehicle is running for 40,000 kilometers or the brake fluid has been used continuously for more than 2 years, the brake fluid is easy to deteriorate due to the long time of use, so please pay attention to timely replacement.

3. For vehicles equipped with brake fluid level alarm device, you should always observe whether the alarm indicator is flashing and alarmsensorWhether the performance is good, it should be added in time when the brake fluid is insufficient, and the stored brake fluid should be kept between the calibrated minimum capacity scale and the maximum capacity scale.

4. In the normal driving of the vehicle, if the brake is light or heavy, the brake fluid should be replaced in time, and the brake system should be cleaned with alcohol before replacement.

5. When the vehicle brakes deviate, the brake system must be inspected comprehensively. If you find that the cup of the sub-cylinder swells too much, it indicates that there may be a problem with the quality of the brake fluid. At this time, the brake fluid of better quality should be selected to be replaced, and the leather cup should be replaced at the same time.

6. When changing seasons, especially in winter, if the braking effect is found to decrease, it may be that the grade of brake fluid is not suitable for the winter climate. At this time, when replacing new brake fluid, you must choose brake fluid with a low viscosity at low temperatures.

7. Do not mix different types and brands of brake fluids. For brake systems with special requirements, you should add specific brands of brake fluid. Due to the different formulations of different brands and types of brake fluids, mixing brake fluids will cause the performance of brake fluids to decrease. Even those brands that have good compatibility and indicate that they can be mixed or substituted are not satisfactory in use, so do not use them for a long time.

8. When the brake fluid is mixed with or sucked in water, or the brake fluid is found to contain impurities or deposits, it should be replaced in time or carefully filtered, otherwise the brake pressure will be insufficient and the braking effect will be affected.
