How to Check if Brake Fluid is Low
1 Answers
Brake fluid The optimal level for brake fluid is between the two marked lines. If it's not within the normal range, adjustments should be made. Below are relevant details: 1. Too much brake fluid: Overfilling brake fluid is generally not harmful. However, if new brake pads have just been installed, caution is needed as thicker new pads may cause overflow if the reservoir is too full. 2. Too little brake fluid: Normally, slightly low brake fluid doesn't affect braking performance. But if it runs completely dry, it can cause the brake pedal to sink and lead to brake failure, seriously compromising driving safety. 3. Function of brake fluid: Automotive brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is the liquid used to transmit pressure in a vehicle's hydraulic braking system. Its quality directly affects the reliability of braking performance.
