How often should Mercedes-Benz brake fluid be changed?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz recommends changing the brake fluid every 2 years, but this interval can vary depending on usage conditions. Brake Fluid: Brake fluid, also known as automotive hydraulic brake fluid, is a liquid used in hydraulic braking systems to transmit pressure and stop wheel rotation. It enables the pistons on the wheel cylinders to extend under the action of the sealing cups, applying leverage to the brake discs and pads to achieve braking. Characteristics of Brake Fluid: Brake fluid has a very low freezing point, ensuring good fluidity in cold temperatures. It has an extremely high boiling point, preventing vapor lock under high-temperature conditions. The quality of brake fluid changes minimally and does not cause corrosion to metal or rubber components.
