Why is it necessary to replace brake fluid?
1 Answers
There are two main reasons for replacing brake fluid: 1. Brake fluid directly affects braking performance. Due to weather and external factors, brake fluid absorbs moisture and impurities over time, leading to deterioration. This results in insufficient braking force, creating safety hazards. 2. Contaminated brake fluid causes wear to sealing components in the braking system, shortening the lifespan of brake parts, making regular replacement essential. Additional information: How brake fluid works 1. When the brake pedal is depressed, the hydraulic system pressurizes the brake fluid. 2. The pressurized fluid from the master cylinder is distributed to all four wheel cylinders. 3. The pistons in wheel cylinders are actuated by the pressurized fluid, forcing brake pads to clamp the rotors.
