Safety: Warning. Suspected of damaging fertility. Suspected of damaging the unborn child. Read the label before use.

Apec's DOT 4 ESP brake fluid is a low viscosity DOT 4 in a 5 litre can, for cars whose ABS and stability control (ESP) ask for a thinner fluid that moves quickly through the valves and pump, especially when cold. It still meets the DOT 4 standard, so it can also top up or replace ordinary DOT 4.

Good to know

• Does my car need the ESP type? If the handbook or cap asks for a low viscosity DOT 4 (sometimes called Class 6), yes; many cars with ESP stability control do. If it only says DOT 4, this fluid still meets that standard.
• How do I bleed a car with ABS and ESP? Work from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder to the nearest, keep the reservoir topped up so no air gets in, and note that some cars need a diagnostic tool to cycle the ABS pump.
• What if I spill it? Brake fluid damages paintwork, so cover the wings, wipe up any drips straight away and rinse with plenty of water; keep the can tightly closed so it doesn't take in moisture.

Which one?

If your car only asks for standard DOT 4, Apec DOT 4 Brake Fluid (ABF3005); for a higher boiling point, Apec DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid (ABF5005).
