The ability to stop a car is just as important as the ability to move it, and your brakes are responsible for the former. You should always ensure your braking system is functioning optimally, and the brake fluid is essential. With repeated use and time, your brake fluid will deteriorate, compromising your braking system and eventually reducing performance. The condition of your braking fluid is essential to the brake performance in the following ways: Pressure Delivery A car's braking system involves many parts, all of which experience significant pressure when you apply your brakes. The brake pads apply pressure to the wheels to stop their rotation and require brake fluid for pressure absorption. Brake fluid is often referred to as hydraulic fluid because it distributes pressure among various mechanical apparatus in the braking system when you step on the brakes. The braking fluid's condition determines how well it distributes pressure. It also ensures it won't stick, b ... read more
