How many kilometers should the brake fluid be replaced for the Magotan?
2 Answers
It is recommended to replace it every three years or 50,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about brake fluid: 1. Introduction: Brake fluid, also known as brake liquid or hydraulic brake fluid, is made from refined diesel distillate with thickeners and antioxidants. There are three types: mineral oil brake fluid, alcohol-based brake fluid, and synthetic brake fluid. 2. Functions: (1) The freezing point of automotive brake fluid is very low, ensuring good fluidity under low-temperature conditions; (2) The boiling point of automotive brake fluid is extremely high, preventing vapor lock under high-temperature conditions; (3) Automotive brake fluid undergoes minimal quality changes during use and does not cause corrosion to metals or rubber.
When I owned a Magotan before, I realized that brake fluid isn't something you should judge solely by mileage. Generally, it's recommended to replace it every two years or 40,000 kilometers. For instance, when my car reached 45,000 kilometers during a service, the technician detected excessive moisture and immediately changed it, explaining that brake fluid is prone to absorbing moisture, which can reduce braking performance and even corrode the ABS system—pretty alarming. Actually, changing the fluid is quite simple; just go to a reputable shop, spend a few dozen bucks, and it's done in half an hour. Driving beyond the recommended mileage, especially on highways, risks softer brakes. I suggest paying more attention to the vehicle's condition rather than just focusing on the odometer. In humid southern regions or if you have aggressive driving habits, it's even more crucial to inspect it earlier to ensure driving safety.
