Brake fluid

What is the main function of brake fluid in a hydraulic brake system?

• To compress air in the system

• To transfer force from the master cylinder to the brakes

• To cool down the brake pads

• To lubricate the brake system

Which organization sets the DOT ratings for brake fluids?

• European Union

• Society of Automotive Engineers

• Department of Transportation

• International Standards Organization

Why is it important for brake fluid to have a high boiling point?

• To prevent the fluid from freezing

• To avoid vaporization under high temperatures

• To ensure it mixes well with other fluids

• To reduce its viscosity

What does it mean if brake fluid is hygroscopic?

• It has a high viscosity

• It is non-corrosive

• It is resistant to high temperatures

• It can absorb moisture from the air

What should you do if brake fluid does not meet the minimum wet boiling point standard?

• Change the fluid

• Mix it with a different type of fluid

• Add more fluid to the system

• Ignore the issue
