Brake Fluid plays a crucial role in your cars braking system as it responsible to help move various parts of your vehicle's braking system when a driver presses the brake pedal to activate the brakes to make the car stop.
The Brake Fluid operates under high temperatures and at high pressure without it, your vehicle would not be able to stop when you push the brake pedal inside your vehicle.
Your vehicle's Brake Fluid serves as a lubricant of all movable parts and prevents corrosion. It has to be compatible with rubber seals and hoses thus allowing braking systems to achieve long service and optimal performance.
