Brake fluid, also known as brake fluid, transmission fluid pressure is a hydraulic vehicle brake system. Because of its advantages and disadvantages directly related to the reliability of the brakes, so the purchase is related to the safety of the riders brake fluid, must not be taken lightly.
Compared to most private owners, the brake fluid (brake fluid) is one of at least they care about and understanding of the content, talk about the engine, fuel consumption talking, talking about brands, I believe that each person can say a car few can be when it comes to brake fluid, real understanding of who is extremely rare.
The higher the brake fluid level, the better?
The answer is yes.
Reporters search from the National Standards Association website to information on the "brake fluid national standard" it is: in January 2004, with the implementation of national standards of internationally accepted standards mandatory product standards GB12981-2003 "motor vehicle brake fluid" . According to GB12981-2003 "motor vehicle brake fluid", the brake fluid into HZY3, HZY4, HZY5. Respectively DOT3, DOT4, DOT5 internationally. Brake fluid levels are high or low, whether consumers choose the brake fluid level is higher, the better it? The experts from the China Petrochemical Great Wall Lubricating Oil Company, told reporters that the higher the brake fluid level, the better the security. In general, micro, medium and low automotive brake fluid line with appropriate selection HZY3 standard, high-end cars and the proposed selection criteria HZY4 brake fluid. Of course, micro, middle and low car selection HZY4 without any problems, but better.
Brake fluid and life are closely related?
The answer is yes.
According to one researcher Yan Zili brake fluid introduction of national standards drafters, brake fluid merits of its quality is directly related to the safety of vehicle travel. In 2005, my country has nearly 10 million people lost their lives in various types of accidents in which the vehicle brake is not working, brake failure is one of the important factors. Because of this, the world has always attached great importance to the supervision of the brake fluid, the Western developed countries is their integration into the category of road safety regulations be controlled. In my country, the brake fluid in the implementation of national industrial production permit management. Technical experts from the Great Wall Lubricating Oil Company, told reporters that the Western countries have developed very harsh DOT standards, not a simple deployment can be achieved. On the domestic market, many low-cost low-quality brake fluid DOT3 are marked in line with the standard, in fact, product quality and substandard.
Two years brake fluid must be replaced?
Again, the answer is yes.
Weijun Jiang chief engineer from the Beijing auto repair company profiles, brake fluid has a water absorption characteristics, for a long time without replacing corrode the brake system to traffic and security. He suggested that the owner, brake fluid is generally two years or 40,000 kilometers must be mandatory replacement.
Wei workers said real qualified standard brake fluid has several characteristics: transmitting a braking force is to ensure the flexibility at high temperature, cold, high-speed, heat and other working conditions; not corrosive to metal and nonmetal materials brake system; It is possible to effectively lubricate the moving parts of the brake system, brake wheel cylinder and to extend the life of the cups. "If the owners will not choose their own brake fluid, I suggest they go to a regular replacement 4S shop to do. There is relatively secure." Wei worker proposal.
