Description
Brake and Clutch Fluid DOT 4 is a high quality, non-petroleum automotive brake fluid designed for use in conventional hydraulic brake and clutch systems under normal service conditions.
Features
- Brake and Clutch Fluid DOT 4 is an advanced, nonpetroleum automotive brake fluid designed for use in conventional hydraulic brake and clutch systems, particularly in severe service conditions or where DOT 4 fluids are recommended.
- Brake and Clutch Fluid DOT 4 provides an additional safety margin against “vapor lock” compared with brake fluids meeting less stringent specification requirements.
Applications
- All hydraulically operated motor vehicle braking systems (drum and disc types) for which a DOT 4 or SAE J1704 fluid is specified. This may include:
– Vehicles with anti-lock (ABS) braking systems
– Hydraulic clutch systems requiring conventional fluids
– Passenger cars, commercial road transport, and motorcycles - Make-up or service fill of braking systems requiring SAE J1703 fluids.
- Make-up or service fill of braking systems requiring DOT 3 fluids, unless the OEM specifically recommends against the use of DOT 4 fluids (e.g. certain Toyota models).
For vehicles operating in extreme service conditions, or where a DOT 5.1 fluid is specified, Caltex Brake and Clutch Fluid DOT 5.1 is recommended.
Not to be used in systems designed for mineral oil based fluids (LHM), e.g., certain Citroen models and many off-highway vehicles and tractors, or where Silicone -type DOT 5 fluids are recommended.
