1 liter of brake fluid is sufficient for replacement. Below is additional information: Definition of Brake Fluid: Automotive brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is a liquid used in the hydraulic braking system of vehicles to transmit pressure. It is a crucial product related to traffic safety. Brake fluid is made from refined diesel distillates with thickeners and antioxidants added. There are three types of brake fluid: mineral oil-based, alcohol-based, and synthetic. Brake Fluid Working Pressure: The working pressure of brake fluid is generally 2MPa, and it can reach up to 4~5MPa. All liquids have the characteristic of being incompressible. In a sealed container or a pipeline filled with liquid, when the liquid is under pressure, the pressure is quickly and uniformly transmitted to all parts of the liquid. Hydraulic braking systems operate based on this principle. After being used for a certain period, brake fluid is prone to a decrease in boiling point, contamination, and varying degrees of oxidation and deterioration.
