COMPLETE BRAKE FLUID SERVICE

More than simply topping up the reservoir.

Brake-fluid service replaces deteriorated fluid throughout the hydraulic system while allowing us to inspect related brake components for visible concerns.

01

Brake Fluid Inspection

Fluid condition, level and visible contamination are checked before service recommendations are made.

02

Complete Fluid Exchange

Old brake fluid is removed and replaced with fresh fluid of the correct specification.

03

Brake System Bleeding

The hydraulic system is properly bled as required to remove old fluid and air from the system.

04

ABS System Protection

Clean fluid helps protect hydraulic valves, pumps and other internal ABS components.

05

Correct Fluid Specification

DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid is selected according to the manufacturer's specification for the vehicle.

06

Hybrid & EV Service

Brake-fluid service can be performed on compatible hybrid and electric vehicles with regenerative braking systems.

WHY BRAKE FLUID MATTERS

Brake fluid works under heat and pressure.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture over time. Contaminated fluid can lower the fluid's boiling point and contribute to corrosion inside hydraulic braking components.

Moisture lowers boiling performance Brake systems generate considerable heat during repeated braking.
Clean fluid protects components Proper fluid helps protect the master cylinder, calipers and ABS hydraulics.
Service interval varies Maintenance schedules differ by vehicle manufacturer and driving conditions.

BRAKE FLUID TYPES

Use the fluid your vehicle was designed for.

Brake fluid should never be chosen simply by what is available. The correct specification matters to braking performance and component compatibility.

DOT 3

Common on many passenger vehicles and light trucks. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's specification.

DOT 4

Frequently specified for vehicles requiring higher temperature performance and many European applications.

DOT 5.1

Used in compatible applications requiring specific performance characteristics. It is not interchangeable with silicone DOT 5 fluid.

BRAKE FLUID WARNING SIGNS

When should your brake fluid be checked?

Soft Brake Pedal

A soft or spongy pedal should be inspected to determine the actual cause.

Dark Brake Fluid

Discoloured or contaminated fluid may indicate that service is due.

Reduced Braking Feel

Changes in pedal feel or braking response warrant inspection.

ABS Warning Light

An ABS warning requires diagnosis rather than assuming fluid is the cause.

Moisture Contamination

Moisture in brake fluid can reduce boiling performance and promote corrosion.

Brake Repairs Completed

Certain hydraulic brake repairs may require bleeding or replacement of fluid.

LANGLEY BRAKE FLUID FAQ

Helpful answers about brake fluid.

How often should brake fluid be changed?
The correct interval depends on the vehicle manufacturer, fluid condition and operating environment. We recommend following the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and inspecting the fluid when appropriate.
Why does brake fluid absorb moisture?
Most automotive brake fluids are hygroscopic, which means they absorb moisture over time. Increasing moisture content can reduce boiling performance and contribute to internal corrosion.
What brake fluid does my vehicle use?
The required fluid depends on the vehicle. Dale's uses the specification called for by the manufacturer rather than substituting a fluid based only on availability.
Do hybrids and EVs need brake-fluid service?
Yes. Hybrid and electric vehicles still use hydraulic braking systems even though regenerative braking may reduce conventional brake use. Brake-fluid maintenance still applies according to the vehicle's requirements.
