What does a brake fluid replacement filler mean?

Brake fluid replacement filler is the most efficient tool for replacing brake fluid. The following is a related introduction to brake fluid: 1. Introduction: Brake fluid is a liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in a hydraulic braking system, used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. 2. Function: Brake fluid, also known as braking oil or force oil, with its English name Brake-Fluid, is an indispensable part of the braking system. Within the braking system, it serves as a medium for force transmission. Since liquids cannot be compressed, the pressure output from the master cylinder is directly transmitted to the wheel cylinders through the brake fluid.
I used to see friends in the workshop often asking what a brake fluid refill tool is. Simply put, it's a small device specifically designed for adding new fluid during brake fluid replacement, resembling a pressure pot or syringe device. After draining the old brake fluid, we connect it directly to the brake system's reservoir, and with a press, it precisely injects new fluid, preventing air from entering which could cause a spongy brake pedal and failure. This tool makes DIY replacement easier, reducing waste and the risk of contamination. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, lowering its boiling point, which may lead to overheating and failure during emergency braking. Using a refill tool ensures a clean and efficient process. It's recommended to check the color and quality of the brake fluid every two years; if it appears cloudy, it's time for a change. If you're doing it yourself, remember to wear gloves to avoid skin contact—safety first.
