Good to know

• Is DOT 4 right for my car? The grade is printed on the brake fluid reservoir cap or given in the handbook; most modern cars ask for DOT 4. If the car calls for a low viscosity DOT 4 for ESP, use that type instead.
• Can I mix it with what is already in the system? DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are glycol based and will mix, though a mix should be treated as no better than the lower grade; DOT 5 is silicone based and must never be mixed with them. A full flush is better than topping up old fluid.
• How often should brake fluid be changed? Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time, which lowers its boiling point, so most car makers ask for a change every 2 years; follow your service schedule.

Which one?

For cars that specify a low viscosity fluid for ESP, Apec DOT 4 Brake Fluid Esp (ABF4005); for a higher boiling point, Apec DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid (ABF5005).
