Brake fluid

HELLA's comprehensive product range contains four brake fluids that can be used individually and are optimized with safety in mind:

 

  • DOT 3 Brake Fluid should be used in brake and clutch systems where the vehicle manufacturer recommends this fluid.
  • DOT 4 Brake Fluid is recommended for brake and clutch systems with synthetic fluid (including ABS).
  • DOT 4 PRO Brake Fluid brake fluid is recommended for all vehicles featuring modern safety systems, such as electronic stability programs/traction control systems.
  • DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid meets even the most stringent standards and is recommended for all vehicles featuring the latest safety and brake systems.

Why HELLA?

  • HELLA brake fluids far exceed the current DOT specifications
  • Higher dry and wet boiling points than prescribed by DOT
  • High durability and low wear thanks to excellent viscosity from -40 °C to 100 °C
  • The correct brake fluid for every vehicle (DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 4 LV, DOT 5.1, LHM)

HELLA brake fluids are available in the following container sizes:

  • 1 piece: DOT 4 20l canister
  • 4 piece: 5l DOT 4 & DOT 4 Pro canister
  • 10 piece: 1l DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 4 Pro bottle
  • 24 piece: 0.5l & 0.25l DOT 4 bottle
NOTICE

Over time brake fluid absorbs water from hoses, seals, etc., which may reduce its boiling point and impair braking performance. For this reason, it is important to check the brake fluid regularly and change it at least every 2 years.

 

Please use only the fluid that is specified on the service record or reservoir! Using the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer is generally recommended.
