Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid that is necessary for your vehicle braking system. When your vehicle does not have enough fluid, you will not have the power to stop your vehicle unless you use the emergency brake. It is important to monitor your vehicle’s brake fluid every couple of months and to have your brake fluid serviced about every couple of years to ensure excellent brake performance.
 


 

What Does Brake Fluid Do?
 

When pressing down on the brake pedal, fluid is moved through the line to compress the brake piston at each brake caliper. This squeezes the brake pads into the spinning brake discs, allowing your vehicle to stop.
