Why Brake Fluid Matters: How To Choose The Best for Your Vehicle in Africa?

Brake fluid is the unsung hero of your vehicle’s safety system.Many African drivers underestimate the critical role of high-quality DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids until they face dangerous brake failure, corrosion in hydraulic systems, or sudden loss of braking power on challenging roads.

At Guangzhou Lidi Automobile Supplies Co., Ltd., with 20 years as China's leading brake fluid manufacturer, we specialize in heavy-duty hydraulic brake fluids engineered for Africa's extreme conditions—from scorching deserts to muddy terrains. Your vehicle's stopping power depends on this often-overlooked hydraulic fluid—let's ensure you're protected with the right DOT-certified brake oil for your climate and driving needs.

What Happens When Brake Fluid Fails?

1.Overheating Brakes: Africa’s scorching climates and mountainous terrains push brake systems to their limits. Low-quality fluids (like substandard DOT 3 or DOT 4) boil under pressure, causing brake fade.

4.Pro Tip: Look for high boiling point DOT 4 LV (low viscosity) or synthetic brake fluid to withstand Africa’s heat.

Why Our GL Brake Fluid Stands Out?

1.20 years of research and development: We have tested various packaging of DOT 4 brake fluid and DOT 3 brake oil under extreme conditions ranging from high temperatures in the Sahara to rainy weather in the tropics.

2.Anti corrosion formula: Unlike the commonly used "brake oil point 3", our formula contains moisture-proof additives, which are crucial for motorcycle brake fluid and truck brake systems.

3.Safety certification: Complies with FMVSS 116 DOT 4 and SAE J1703 standards to ensure the reliability of forklift brake fluid and passenger vehicles.

FAQ

Q: Can I mix DOT 3 and DOT 4?

A: Never! Mixing dot 3 and dot 4 brake oil can lower the boiling point. Stick to one type.

Q: Why does my brake clutch fluid dot 3 feel sticky?
A: Moisture absorption. Upgrade to synthetic brake fluid dot 4 for smoother shifts.

Q: How often to change brake fluid?
A: Every 2 years—or sooner if your brake fluid color turns dark (a sign of contamination).
