DOT 4

Having a particularly high boiling point and a viscosity lower than required, it largely meets and exceeds regulatory standards.

It is also suitable for vehicles with ABS.

The four cardinal points of any braking system are the discs, calipers, pads and master cylinder, but they risk being useless without the fulcrum of the entire system: the brake fluid. The component is so neglected that it is generally checked in a summary way, with possible topping up instead of a more correct replacement at the deadline recommended by the manufacturer.
Such a habit leaves the field open to Vapour Lock, the formation of vapor bubbles due to the boiling of the brake fluid which, replacing the normal fluid, are compressed by sending the pedal to the bottom of the stroke (spongy pedal).

Brake fluid is particularly hygroscopic, i.e. it easily absorbs moisture from the air (never leave the brake fluid cap open). The origin of the inconvenience is in the porosity of the pipes (car house) that make up the braking circuit, which over time make the liquid absorb moisture, drastically reducing its boiling point; The result is lower braking efficiency.

Brembo brake fluids offer a boiling point higher than the required standards, thus guaranteeing superior resistance to the Vapour Lock and efficient braking in all conditions. Thanks to their high anti-corrosion properties and resistance to oxidation, Brembo brake fluids also allow the chemical/physical characteristics of the fluid in the circuit in operation to be maintained for a long time, preserving its integrity.
