To check brake fluid, locate the reservoir, and ensure the level is between the “min” and “max” marks. Add the

Yes, brake fluid is flammable, especially glycol-based types like DOT 3 and DOT 4, which can ignite under high heat

Yes, you can mix DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids as they’re compatible, but mixing may lower the boiling

A brake fluid flush replaces old, contaminated brake fluid to maintain safe and effective braking. It’s recommended every two years

Changing brake fluid every two years is crucial for safety and performance. It absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling

A brake fluid exchange partially replaces old fluid with new, while a brake fluid flush completely removes all old fluid

Changing brake fluid without bleeding involves replacing old fluid in the reservoir and pumping the brakes to circulate the new

Yes, brake fluid exchange is necessary to maintain effective braking. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, reducing performance and risking
