Your questions, answered
Which is the right fluid for my car?
Before choosing the right brake fluid for your car, we suggest to consult your vehicle's maintenance manual.
In general, DOT 4 and DOT 4 Low Viscosity brake fluids meet the technical requirements for 90% of the cars on the road worldwide. Brembo DOT 4 is suitable for use in all cars, from older models to the most recent ones, including those with Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS). For the latest generation of vehicles which not only include the ABS system but also advanced stability and traction control systems such as ESP, ASR, TCS and EBD, we recommend using a higher-performing brake fluid. Specifically, the Brembo DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity) brake fluid is ideal, particularly for its superior low-temperature viscosity.
The Xtra brake fluid is a Class 7 solution that offers the high performance of a DOT 5.1 fluid and the low viscosity of DOT 4 LV for uncompromising braking performance, even for sporty road use. It is ideal as a complement to a set of Xtra discs and.
Last but not least, for an even more sporty drive of your car on the road, and not on the track, we can suggest DOT 5.1, as an alternative to the DOT 4 LV.
Are brake fluids interchangeable?
Car braking systems are designed to use a specific type of fluid. Therefore, the car should continue to use that type of fluid for the entire service life, as the internal components of the braking system have been designed, selected, and tested to work at its best, with that particular fluid.
Although DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids are all glycol-based, the chemical composition of each type of fluid is different, meaning they will have a different effect on the system. To ensure the system functions as intended, the best approach is to stick to the brake fluid recommended by the car manufacturer.
How do I know when it's time to change the brake fluid?
It is generally recommended to replace the brake fluid according to the specifications provided by the vehicle manufacturer, which may vary depending on the type of fluid used. Brake fluid deteriorates fairly quickly, even with minimal amounts of water, so we generally recommend replacing it after an interval of 2 to 3 years.
Over time, the fluid tends to absorb moisture from the air through the porosity of the brake lines. This leads to a gradual decline in its original characteristics, particularly the boiling point, which in a 3-year-old fluid can be significantly lower than that of a new fluid. This results in slower braking response and, in some cases, in the phenomenon of "brake pedal fade", causing a loss of braking effectiveness as the brake fluid boils at high temperatures while pressing on the brake pedal. This phenomenon is also known as vapour lock.
Additionally, brake fluid should be ideally light in color and have a clean aspect. A dark and cloudy fluid indicates that it has collected impurities and it is time to replace it.
What is the vapour lock?
Vapour lock refers to the formation of vapour bubbles in the brake fluid when it reaches high temperature, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and reduced braking efficiency. This typically happens when brake fluid absorbs moisture over time due to the porous nature of the brake circuit tubes. As moisture enters the brake fluid, it lowers the boiling point of the fluid. When the fluid heats up, such as during heavy braking or in hot weather, it can boil, creating vapour bubbles in the brake lines.
These vapour bubbles are compressible, unlike the brake fluid itself, which means when the brake pedal is pressed, the bubbles compress instead of transmitting the necessary pressure to the brake components. This results in a "spongy pedal" or, in severe cases, in having the pedal going all the way to the floor without effectively engaging the brakes.
To avoid this, it's essential to regularly replace the brake fluid according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended service intervals. Replacing the brake fluid helps remove absorbed moisture, thus maintaining its boiling point and ensuring efficient braking performance.
