p10tribune april 18 1990 brake fluid has vital role in automotive safety have you ever counted the num ber of times you need to stop your car during an average trip have you ever thought about what youd do if you couldnt stop every driver depends on brake fluid for stopping capability the average driver uses his or her brakes approximately 75000 times a year and expects them to function properly each and every time within the braking system of all automobiles exists brake fluid a highly critical component essen tial to brake operation brake fluid produces braking stopping action and protects and lubricates brake system compo nents the use of a high quality brake fluid is essential to assure convenience in communications through technology for all your cellular needs we specialize in

sengers traveling in the automo bile do your brakes work an automotive hydraulic brak ing system consists of a master cylinder of metal piping and flexi ble hoses this hydraulic system attaches to frictional components which are comprised of brake shoes and drums or brake pads and discs brake fluid is contained within the system assembly when pres sure is applied to the brake pedal the piston in the master cylinder exerts a force on the fluid since the system is completely filled the piston is acting on a vir tually incompressible column of fluid which transmits the applied force to pistons within the wheel cylinder at each of the wheels this pushes the brake shoes against the drums drum brakes or the disc pad against the rotor disc disc brakes resulting in braking action advances in automotive technol- ogy have allowed manufacturers to introduce antilock brake sys tems abs in recent model cars the abs is a feedback control system that adjusts brake pressure in response to measured declara tion of each wheel preventing brake lockup and vehicle skid dding the abs is the most effective braking system and should replace drum and disc systems by the mid- 1990s the dependence of the motorist on brake fluid for safe vehicle- operation absolutely necessitates the selection of a high quality dependable product to reduce the possibility of get ready for spring

automotive braking system disc brakes drum brakes new sources of brake system stress require a brake fluid that can manage that stress always keep brakes in good working order n excessive moisture accumulation in the braking system and to pro tect against the possibility of com plete brake fluid periodically or whenever moisture contamination is indicated or suspected todays smaller highperfor mance cars put additional demands on brake fluids a number of recent automobile design changes affect braking sys tems front wheel drive vehicles have an increased load on front brakes which can lead to higher brake fluid temperatures reduction in turbulent air flow tolower the drag factor and the trend toward smaller wider tires can lead to higher brake fluid tem peratures in the wheel cylinder area semimetallic pads now used for disc brakes can transfer heat much more readily than asbestos pads and increase brake fluid tempera tures by as much as 50 f under severe operating conditions a brake fluid must perform effectively on a moments notice this performance is critical to safe brake operation and must not be compromised by vehiclebrake system design or by driving condi tions todays cars need a brake fluid that can handle new sources of brake system stress vapor lock vapor lock is a loss of braking power caused when brake fluid begins to turn to vapor when it reaches its boiling point unlike a liquid vapors are high ly compressible as a brake fluid becomes more compressible it loses its ability to transmit the force necessary to effectively stop the automobile loss of response to pedal pres sure or even total brake failure can result water absorption lowers the brake fluid boiling point leaving your brake system more suscepti ble to vapor lock a dot 4 fluid with lma becomes essential in assuring safe braking operation especially under severe conditions dot 3 fluids cannot guarantee the same degree of antivapor lock protection for your cars braking system as a dot 4 fluid can motorists must always keep their braking systems in proper working order to ensure the maximum amount of safety for automobile owners and their passengers everything youve wanted to
