- Brake fluid is poisonous. Never suck it up through the hose with your mouth. Store the fluid only in a closed container.
- Brake fluid is caustic and should not come into contact with painted surfaces, but if this does happen, the fluid should be wiped off immediately and rinsed with plenty of water.
- Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air, so it must be stored in a closed container.
- Fluid that has already been used in the brake system should not be reused. When bleeding the brakes, only new brake fluid should be used. Brake fluid specification is DOT4.
- Brake fluid should not come into contact with mineral oils. Even small amounts of mineral oil will make the brake fluid unusable and cause the brakes to fail.
Replace brake fluid every 2 years regardless of mileage. It is better to replace it after the cold season. Do not drain old brake fluid into household sewage.
