Essential Brake Fluid Guide

Brake Fluid's Critical Role

Brake fluid is vital for safe braking, transferring pedal force to the brakes. Degraded fluid reduces braking effectiveness.

Signs Your Brake Fluid Needs Attention

• Soft or spongy brake pedal : A soft pedal may indicate contaminated brake fluid.
• ABS warning light : Your car might warn you of fluid problems.
• Inconsistent braking: If braking feels inconsistent or delayed, it’s time for a check-up.
• Dark or dirty fluid : Dark fluid indicates contamination.

How Often Should You Replace Brake Fluid?

Regular checks help determine when brake fluid replacement is necessary, typically every 2-3 years or 30,000 miles.
