🚨 BRAKE FLUID: THE LITTLE THING THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE! 🚨
Did you know brake fluid can become contaminated over time, even if your brakes seem to be working just fine? 👀
At Manifolds And Mullets Mechanical, we test your brake fluid for FREE at every service because your safety matters to us! 🔧
Our brake fluid tester uses a traffic light system to show the condition of your fluid:
🟢 GREEN: All good! Your brake fluid is in good condition.
🟠 ORANGE: Your brake fluid is starting to deteriorate and should be replaced at your next service.
🔴 RED: Time to replace it NOW! Your brake fluid has reached a level of contamination where replacement is recommended.
In this photo, the brake fluid has tested RED, meaning it needs to be replaced ASAP! 🚨
So why does brake fluid matter?
Brake fluid transfers the force from your brake pedal through the hydraulic braking system to help bring your vehicle to a stop. Most brake fluids absorb moisture over time, which can lower their boiling point and contribute to corrosion inside the braking system. Under heavy braking, contaminated fluid can increase the risk of brake fade and reduced braking performance.
When your brake fluid is contaminated, simply topping it up isn’t the answer. The old fluid needs to be flushed through the system and replaced with the correct fresh fluid, following the manufacturer’s specifications.
And the best part? We check it for FREE at every service because we’d rather catch a problem early than have you find out the hard way! ❤️
