How often should the brake fluid in the Excelle be changed?
1 Answers
The brake fluid in the Excelle should generally be replaced every two years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. During driving, due to wear and the automatic adjustment of the brake friction pads, the fluid level may slightly drop, which is normal. However, if the fluid level drops significantly or falls below the MIN mark in a short period, it may indicate a leak in the brake system. Precautions for changing brake fluid: 1. Regularly change brake fluid: Brake fluid that has been used for too long can deteriorate and absorb moisture, lowering its boiling point, which may lead to brake failure and endanger driving safety. Therefore, it must be changed regularly. 2. Do not mix brake fluids: For brake systems with special requirements, a specific brand and type of brake fluid should be used. Different brands and types of brake fluids have different formulations, and mixing them can degrade the performance of the brake fluid. 3. When changing brake fluid, ensure the old fluid is completely cleaned out before adding the new brake fluid. 4. Avoid introducing air when changing brake fluid: Air mixed into the brake fluid during the change can cause discontinuous discharge of the old fluid, affecting braking performance.
