We recommend the DOT 4 brake fluid for vehicles with disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. DOT 4 is also ideally suited to vehicles with disc brakes all round as well as those fitted with ABS. The special DOT 4 ESP has been added to the range to offer support for vehicles that are fitted with electronic stability programmes and ABS. If you’re choosing a brake fluid for a high performance cars, use the DOT 4 GP fluid, which has been designed specifically for racing applications. As is clear from the wide coverage that DOT 4 brake fluid provides, it is an excellent choice for anyone who needs to cater for a wide selection of vehicles.

Enhanced fluid performance to match advanced braking systems
As vehicles become more advanced, our products need to keep up with the constant changes. Among the many latest developments in the industry is the inclusion of advanced braking systems in most new cars, including the electronic stability programmes (ESP). As ESP technology develops, brake fluid needs to act quicker to maximise the performance of the system and prevent cars from skidding.

Changing brake fluid protects
Whenever drivers use their brakes, the brake fluid heats up and as brake hoses get older the amount of moisture that gets into the system increases, which means the brake fluid boiling point is lowered. This can be dangerous because if the brake fluid reaches boiling point through the use of the brakes, ‘vapour lock’ will occur, which can result in brake failure. This is why it’s important to change the brake fluid of a vehicle on a regular basis.

Owing to the exceptional quality of the TRW brake fluids, high-level performance is delivered for longer, but drivers should still change the brake fluid in their vehicle regularly to maintain performance and uphold safety levels.

Prevent corrosion
As well as brake failure, not changing the brake fluid in a vehicle can lead to the master cylinder rubber parts becoming corroded. This can be detected easily and quickly by checking the colour of the brake fluid. If the fluid is dirty or has turned a dark colour, then it needs to be changed immediately, otherwise the braking systems could become damaged.

TRW DOT 4 need to be changed every second year. By doing this, you will prevent water contamination and debris from shortening the life of the whole braking system.
