Textar
brake fluid
DOT 3, 4, 4LV, 5.1
SAFER IN TRAFFIC
Brake fluid is one of the most important fluids in a car. Without it, stopping the vehicle safely would be impossible as the Brake fluid transmits the force exerted by the driver on the brake pedal onto the wheel brake. To ensure perfect operation of the brakes, the brake fluid must be changed regularly during inspection or maintenance and tested with the correct brake fluid tester.
DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 4 LV, DOT 5 – The comprehensive range of Textar products includes four safety-optimized brake fluids that can be used individually.

DOT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
THE RIGHT TEXTAR BRAKE FLUID FOR EVERY NEED
Brake fluid should be changed every two years. When choosing, manufacturer‘s specifications must be observed because there are different classes:
- DOT 3, 4, 5 and 5.1 differ mainly in terms of boiling point and cold viscosity.
- DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are glycol-based,
- DOT 5 silicone-based.
The higher the DOT class, the higher the boiling temperature and wet boiling point. Higher DOT classes tend to allow longer maintenance intervals. The DOT standards are based on the American FMVSS-116 standard of the Department of Transportation (DOT).

IMPORTANT NOTES
FOR HANDLING BRAKE FLUID!
- Brake fluid is poisonous and a hazardous waste.
- Be careful when changing. The fluid weakens paints and plastics.
- It must not come into contact with eyes or skin. Always rinse spilled liquid with water.
- Do not pour the liquid into drinking water or mix with used oil.
- The colour of the brake fluid reveals nothing about its quality.
- Brake fluid should be stored in its original packaging and in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Boiling point and Viscosity
Technical terms explained briefly
Dry boiling point
describes the property of the sealed new brake fluid. In this state, the brake fluid is almost anhydrous (substance containing no water). The dry boiling point is usually between 240 and 280°C.
Wet boiling point
determines the property of the brake fluid at the end of its life cycle, at a water content of 3.5% the fluid should be replaced. This defined wet boiling point must not be undercut.
Viscosity
describes the flow rate of the brake fluid. The lower the viscosity, the faster the brake fluid flows through the brake system, and the faster the brake signals are transmitted.
