I'm looking forward to Brett doing many more Tech Tip Tuesdays. In every interview, he gets straight to the point, is clear in his explanation, and can draw from his incredible success as a racer. Definitely the perfect guy for the job.

As Brett said Brake fluid is hygroscopic. So when bleeding your brakes Always make sure you refill you system with a bottle that is brand new and unopened. Also check the seals on your master cylinder cap to stop moisture getting into the system. working on road race cars I have tested "new" brake fluid that was in a bottle from my race trailer. The bottle was about 8 months old and I used it to top up the brakes on my tow vehicle to get home from a meeting. The boiling point was down about 40% and had discolored just from being opened. also always flush the system, don't just bleed it. Great to see Brett on the team. Cheers.

Tom Bailey went off the end of the track here recently, pretty much lost his brakes going 230 and didn't have his chutes activated, he went about 400 ft into the Gravel Pit

So far that they pulled him forward, out the side onto the grass (instead of backwards back onto the track)😳

Triple T is back! It's funny how little things like brake fluid can sneak past your normal maintenance items.

Like Brett said, manufacturers recommend timed base brake fluid change as normal maintenance

Many years ago i had trouble with losing brakes a few seconds into a run. Found that exhaust from header was heating the lines and master cylinder mounted under the car. Brake fluid was vaporizing. You see NASCAR running with red hot rotors and you wonder how the brake fluid isnt vaporizing in their calipers. Ended up switching to Castrol SRF racing brake fluid and insulating the lines in that area and problem solved. My symptom was spongy pedal requiring lots of pedal pumping to get any brakes at all. Two minutes later brakes would work fine. I dont understand how old fluid will start to show in reduced brake pressure. Seems to me that pressure is based on master cylinder piston diameter, pedal ratio, and how hard you press the pedal. If vapor is in the system, pedal gets spongy and you can feel that. Dont need a brake pressure gauge to know you have a problem at that point.

Yep, flush and replace on my classics every couple years, and suck out the reservoir on each of my daily drivers two times a year and replace with fresh. Second to coolant, I bet brake fluid is #1 or #2, most neglected.
@velocity26544 ай бұрын
You barely touched on it but the biggest problem is that most brake fluid is "hygroscopic" and absorbs water from the air. That causes the most problems over time. Brake fluid may not boil until 400 degrees, but water boils at 212 degrees F. It does not take much of a panic stop to get the fluid over 212 degrees and then you will have air in the lines and NO Brakes. I think the degradation of chemicals is less prevalent than the absorption of water.

i think you all missed a very important note....dont mix different DOT types of brake fluid! they dont play well together lol
@MotionRaceworksOfficial4 ай бұрын
They are actually fine in a lot of cases (but not all). For instance our DOT 5.1 will mix fine with Dot 3 and 4. It is dependent on manufacture a lot of times. The most important is that’s silicone (Dot 5) does not mix well with no silicone fluid. Always consult the manufacturer for specific recommendations.
