FAQs

Can I mix this with DOT 3 fluid?

Yes, this fluid is compatible with most conventional DOT 3 and DOT 4 systems, though it is best to flush the system entirely for optimal performance.

Is this suitable for my classic car?

If your car uses a standard Glycol Ether-based fluid, it is suitable. However, if it uses mineral oil, you must not use this product.

How often should I change my brake fluid?

You should follow the recommended service intervals found in your vehicle owner's handbook, typically every two years.

Will this help with my car's ABS system?

Yes, it is specially formulated to enable ESP and ABS systems to function correctly across a wide temperature range.

Why does it say not to use in Rolls Royce or Citroen models?

Some specific models from these manufacturers use specialized mineral oil-based hydraulic systems, which are chemically incompatible with DOT 4 fluid.

Troubleshooting

Spilled fluid on vehicle paint

Wash the affected area immediately with plenty of fresh water to prevent damage to the clear coat.

Soft or 'spongy' brake pedal after fluid change

This usually indicates air in the lines. Perform a thorough brake system bleed to remove air bubbles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved safety for vehicles with Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
  • Prevents vapor lock in high-temperature driving conditions
  • Compatible with most conventional DOT 3 and DOT 4 systems
  • Excellent protection against internal corrosion

Cons

  • Not compatible with mineral oil brake or suspension systems
  • Can cause significant damage to vehicle paintwork if spilled
  • Requires careful adherence to vehicle manufacturer specifications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this fluid, flush the existing brake system according to your vehicle manufacturer’s service interval requirements. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air), always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to maintain the fluid's integrity. If you spill any fluid during the process, immediately rinse the affected area with water, as brake fluid will strip vehicle paint. Always check your vehicle handbook to ensure your system does not require mineral oil-based fluid, as this product is strictly for use with Glycol Ether-based systems.
