Does Blackened Brake Fluid Need to Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Generally, if the color of the brake fluid has changed, it indicates that the brake fluid is definitely too dirty and needs to be replaced. The relevant introduction to brake fluid is as follows: Introduction to Properties: Brake fluid, fully known as "Automotive Brake Fluid," is a liquid used in hydraulic braking systems to transmit pressure to stop the rotation of the wheels. The quality of the brake fluid and whether it is correctly selected and used directly affect driving safety. With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the increasing trend of high-speed vehicles, the role of brake fluid has become even more crucial. Working Principle: When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders at each wheel, causing the friction pads to expand and stop the vehicle. When the brake is released, the return springs pull the friction pads back to their original position.
