Why Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Brake fluid needs to be replaced because: After being used for a period of time, brake fluid will deteriorate, affecting the braking system. Additionally, the volume of brake fluid changes with temperature variations. The brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a vent hole, through which absorbed air may contain moisture or impurities, leading to reduced braking force or brake failure. Brake fluid plays a transmission role in the vehicle's braking system. When you press the brake pedal with your foot, with the assistance of the vacuum booster, it pushes the master cylinder, which in turn pushes the brake fluid. The force from your foot is transmitted through the brake fluid to the brake calipers at each of the four wheels. The brake calipers then push the brake pads, which squeeze the brake discs to generate braking force.
