What are the components of brake fluid?
1 Answers
Brake fluid consists of polyethylene glycol ether solvent, lubricant base fluid, and a small amount of additives. Brake fluid, also known as brake oil or mineral oil brake fluid, has properties such as oxidation stability, anti-foaming, anti-rubber expansion, and anti-rust. Its replacement cycle is related to the braking process during driving and the vehicle's braking system. Brake fluid has water-absorbing characteristics, and if not replaced for a long time, the safety factor of driving will decrease. For vehicles that are used frequently, the brake fluid can be replaced at around 30,000 kilometers; for those used less frequently, the replacement cycle can be extended accordingly, generally at around 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers.
