brake fluid

Brake fluid is a specialized liquid used in vehicle braking systems to transmit force from the brake pedal to the brake components at the wheels. It operates within a sealed, hydraulic system, allowing the driver’s input to be efficiently converted into stopping power. Brake fluid must withstand high temperatures, resist compression, and prevent corrosion inside the brake lines. Regularly checking and maintaining the correct level and replacing it according to manufacturer recommendations are essential for safe and effective braking performance.
