Brake oil is the core medium of the hydraulic braking system. Long-term use will absorb water and cause the boiling point to drop, affecting braking performance. The following is a comparison of brake fluid performance data:
| indicator | new brake fluid | After 2 years of use |
|---|---|---|
| Boiling point (DOT4 standard) | ≥230℃ | ≤180℃ |
| Moisture content | <1% | >3% |
2. Replacement preparation tools
| Tools/Materials | Quantity | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| DOT4 brake fluid | 1L | Recommended by the original manufacturer |
| 10mm open end wrench | 1 handful | Special oil drain screw |
| Transparent hose | 1 stick | Inner diameter 6mm |
3. Operation steps (10th generation Accord example)
1.vehicle preparation: Park the vehicle on level ground and remove the tires (it is recommended to start with the right rear wheel)
2.Drain old oil: Locate the brake cylinder oil drain port and connect the transparent hose to the waste oil bottle
3.New oil filling: Keep the fluid level in the brake oil bottle at the MAX line, and continue to apply the brakes until new oil flows out.
4.Exhaust operation: Two people work together to complete the task, and pay attention to observe that there are no bubbles in the oil pipe.
4. Precautions
| Project | Standard requirements |
