Boiling point brake fluid testing is the only test method approved by brake & brake fluid manufacturers

• Increase service revenue & road safety  
• Accurate, reliable & repeatable results
• Operates off the vehicles own 12 volt battery
• Measures up to 320°, suitable for use on all grades of brake fluid including racing fluids
• Multilanguage: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian

Brake fluid is one of the most important fluids in a car as without it, stopping the vehicle safely would be impossible. The Brake fluid transmits the force exerted by the driver on the brake pedal onto the wheel brake. 
To ensure perfect operation of the brakes, the brake fluid must be changed regularly during inspection or maintenance and tested with the correct brake fluid tester.

Brake fluid should be changed every two years. 

The higher the DOT class, the higher the boiling temperature and wet boiling point. Higher DOT classes tend to allow longer maintenance intervals. The DOT standards are based on the American FMVSS-116 standard of the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Boiling Point and Viscosity

Dry Boiling Point - describes the property of the sealed new brake fluid. In this state, the brake fluid is almost anhydrous (substance containing no water). The dry boiling point is usually between 240 and 280°C.

Wet Boiling Point - determines the property of the brake fluid at the end of its life cycle, at a water content of 3.5% the fluid should be replaced. This defined wet boiling point must not be undercut.

Viscosity - describes the flow rate of the brake fluid. The lower the viscosity, the faster the brake fluid flows through the brake system, and the faster the brake signals are transmitted. 

Important Notes
• Brake fluid is poisonous and a hazardous waste.
• Be careful when changing. The fluid weakens paints and plastics.
• It must not come into contact with eyes or skin. Always rinse spilled liquid with water.
• Do not pour the liquid into drinking water or mix with used oil.
• The colour of the brake fluid reveals nothing about its quality.
• Brake fluid should be stored in its original packaging and in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Brake fluid DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity) Textar.

Textar DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity) is especially recommended for use in hydraulic brake and clutch systems of vehicles fitted with ESP, ABS and ASR with a high boiling point and outstanding performance at very low temperatures.

DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity)
Dry Boiling Point ≥ 260° C 
Wet Boiling Point ≥ 165° C 
Viscosity at -40C < 750 mm2 /s
