What brand of brake fluid does Mercedes-Benz use?
1 Answers
It depends on the specific model. For example, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class uses genuine Mercedes-Benz (Benz) brake fluid, with the model number DOT4A000989080713. Introduction to Brake Fluid: There are three types of brake fluid. When purchasing, choose a reliable manufacturer, and the higher the grade, the better. The working pressure of brake fluid is generally 2MPa, and 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, it quickly and evenly transmits the pressure to all parts of the liquid. Hydraulic braking works based on this principle. Advantages of Silicone Brake Fluid: Saves long-term maintenance costs. Since silicone oil does not absorb water, it prevents the accumulation of moisture or the dissolution of oxidants that could corrode metal parts. The non-conductive nature of silicone oil also prevents electrolytic corrosion. Therefore, the hydraulic braking system does not require major overhauls or part replacements. Additionally, due to the inherent stability of silicone oil, frequent updates are unnecessary.
