Along with replacing your brake pads and rotors, replacing or topping off brake fluid can help keep your car running smoothly between scheduled service visits. Best of all, you can do it at home in Lakeway. Find out how with this guide from the service team at Porsche Austin.
Pressing the brake pedal in your car engages the hydraulic system, creating enough pressure to bring your vehicle to a stop. Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that lubricates the writer braking system and prevents corrosion. You need to check your brake fluid levels and quality regularly. What color is brake fluid normally? We’ll get into that in the following section.
Checking your brake fluid is quick and easy, but you will need the proper safety equipment to add more fluid to the reservoir. Brake fluid is highly toxic and can damage your Porsche vehicle’s exterior paint, so be sure to have gloves, safety glasses, and clean-up materials handy. Here’s how to check brake fluid properly:
What color is brake fluid when it’s due for replacement? Fresh brake fluid is clear with a yellowish tint. As it ages, brake fluid takes on a motor-oil-like brownish or black color, and may pick up stray dirt and debris.
