Product Information
Full details
The Ferodo FRF340 is a high-performance brake and clutch fluid engineered for competition vehicles operating under extreme temperatures. Its key benefit is maintaining braking performance and consistency where standard fluids would fail. A significant caveat is its suitability *only* for motorsport use, not for everyday road vehicles. This fluid boasts an exceptionally high dry boiling point, compatibility with ABS systems, and minimal corrosion, making it ideal for racing applications that generate intense heat.

FAQs
Can I use Ferodo FRF340 in my road car?
No, Ferodo FRF340 is strictly designed for motorsport use and is not suitable for standard road vehicles. Using it in a road car could lead to incorrect braking performance and potential safety issues.
What is the meaning of 'dry boiling point'?
The dry boiling point is the temperature at which the brake fluid will boil when it is completely free of moisture. This is the standard measurement for high-performance fluids under ideal conditions.
How often should I change my brake fluid?
For competition vehicles using FRF340, it is recommended to change the fluid before each major event or at regular intervals specified by your racing team or series regulations, typically at least once per season, to ensure optimal performance.
How do I store unused brake fluid?
Always keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once a container has been opened, it is best to use the fluid as soon as possible.
What does 'low corrosion properties' mean for my brake system?
It means the fluid is formulated to minimize the degradation and rust formation on metal components within your brake system, such as brake lines, calipers, and pistons, contributing to their longevity and reliability.
Is this fluid compatible with all brake system materials?
Ferodo FRF340 is compatible with brake systems using conventional Glycol Ether based fluids. However, it's always best practice to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle's brake system components, especially in custom racing applications.
Troubleshooting
Brake pedal feels spongy or fades during hard braking.
This indicates potential fluid boiling. Ensure the system was completely flushed and refilled with fresh Ferodo FRF340. Check for any air in the lines and bleed the system thoroughly. Verify that the fluid is not contaminated.
Brake fluid reservoir shows signs of corrosion.
While FRF340 has low corrosion properties, contamination or prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause issues. Ensure the system is clean and free of contaminants. If corrosion is severe, the affected components may need replacement.
ABS warning light illuminates intermittently.
Ensure the fluid level is correct and the system has been bled properly, as air in the lines can affect ABS operation. If the issue persists, consult a specialist to diagnose potential ABS sensor or module problems, as fluid compatibility is generally not the cause if the correct type is used.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional resistance to high temperatures, preventing fluid degradation.
- Maintains consistent braking performance under extreme racing loads.
- Compatible with ABS systems.
- Reduces the risk of corrosion in brake system components.
- Reliable choice for dedicated competition vehicles.
Cons
- Strictly for motorsport use; not suitable for road vehicles.
- Requires specialized knowledge for proper flushing and bleeding due to its high performance nature.
- May be overkill for vehicles not regularly subjected to extreme braking temperatures.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This fluid is designed for use in competition vehicles and is compatible with brake systems that use conventional Glycol Ether based fluids. It is compatible with ABS systems.
Setup: Before use, it is crucial to completely flush the existing brake fluid from the system. Due to its specialized nature, cross-contamination with non-racing fluids or older fluid types can compromise its performance. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's or racing team's specific bleeding procedures for your brake and clutch system. Always use fresh fluid from a sealed container.
Care: Keep the fluid container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can lower the boiling point and degrade performance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Brake fluid is corrosive to paintwork; wipe up any spills immediately with a clean cloth.
