Brake Fluid Exchange

What is the role of brake fluid, and why does it need replacement?

Brake fluid is a non-compressible substance in the brake lines of the brake system. It helps generate the power required by the brakes to stop or slow down the vehicle. Over time the brake fluid can get contaminated and not able to deliver the required performance. The contamination can be caused by moisture from the brake components' surroundings or internal wear and tear. This requires the brake fluid to be flushed and replaced with fresh brake fluid. At Tate Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Frederick, we only carry the highest quality brake fluid. Continuing to drive a vehicle with ineffective brake fluid can negatively impact your vehicle's safety and performance.

When to replace brake fluid?

The owner's manual of your vehicle might contain a recommendation for service interval for brake fluid. Certain driving conditions that require more stress on the braking might need a shorter service interval for brake fluid. Some common signs of ineffective brake fluid include sluggish braking performance, stiff brake pedal, excessive vibrations in the brake pedal, or grinding noise when braking. These signs could also indicate issues with the brake system's other components such as the brake pads, brake fluid reservoir, or brake rotors. Therefore, it is important to have a periodic inspection of the brake system to ensure it is in acceptable condition.
