Lucas Oil Brake Fluid

What is the best brake fluid?

The best brake fluid is the Castrol 12509 Fluid, which has a low moisture formula that exceeds both DOT 3 and DOT 4 specification for maximum braking performance.

What are the different types of brake fluid?

­The three main types of brake fluid now available are DOT3, DOT4 and DOT5. DOT3 and DOT4 are glycol-based fluids, and DOT5 is silicon-based. The main difference is that DOT3 and DOT4 absorb water, while DOT5 doesn’t. One of the important characteristics of brake fluid is its boiling point.

Can you use brake fluid as clutch fluid?

Brake fluid can also be used as clutch fluid, which you’ll need if your car is manual. This helps to keep your clutch moving as it should, ensuring your journey is as smooth as possible. Brake cleaner can improve the performance of your braking system as it removes dust, dirt and grime from integral braking parts.

What are brake and clutch fluid do I use?

Most cars use Dot 4 fluid for their brakes and clutches. Your brake fluid transfers force from your foot when you hit the brake into pressure that’s transferred by the callipers into braking force. Basically, without the right amount of fluid – and the right quality- your brakes won’t work effectively.
