- DOT 4 PRO brake fluid is recommended for all vehicles with modern safety systems such as ESP/ASR.

Hella brake fluids are available in the following container sizes:
- 1 piece: DOT 4 20l canister

- 24 piece: 0.5l & 0.25l DOT 4 bottle
IMPORTANT
Brake fluid absorbs water over time via hoses, seals, etc., which lowers the boiling point and can impair braking performance. It is therefore important to check the brake fluid regularly and to change the brake fluid at least every two years.
Please only use the fluid specified in the service booklet or on the expansion tank! It is generally recommended to use the brake fluid defined by the vehicle manufacturer.
