What does brake fluid maintenance service mean?
1 Answers
Brake fluid is the liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in a hydraulic braking system, used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. More information about brake fluid is as follows: 1. Overview: Brake fluid, also known as brake oil or hydraulic fluid, is an indispensable part of the braking system. In 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. 2. Precautions: Brake fluids should not be mixed. Different types of brake fluid must never be mixed, as this can cause separation and loss of braking effectiveness. Maintain cleanliness: When adding or replacing brake fluid, ensure cleanliness. The brake fluid must be filtered to prevent fine impurities from entering the braking system.
