Product Description
DOT 3 Glycol-Ether Brake Fluid. It provides a high dry and wet boiling point to resist vapour lock, controlled low-temperature fluidity for responsive braking, excellent corrosion protection for brake-system metals and compatibility with brake rubber components for safe, reliable braking performance.
Key Performance Features
| High dry boiling point
high dry ERBP resists vapour lock under hard, repeated braking. |
High wet boiling point
maintains a safe boiling point as the fluid absorbs moisture in service. |
| Low-temperature fluidity
controlled low-temperature viscosity for responsive cold braking and ABS/ESP. |
Corrosion protection
protects brake-system metals against rust and corrosion. |
| Rubber compatibility
compatible with standard brake cups, seals and hoses. |
Miscible with DOT 3/4/5.1
mixes with other glycol-ether brake fluids (not silicone DOT 5). |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | General hydraulic disc and drum brake and clutch systems specifying an FMVSS 116 DOT 3 brake fluid. |
| Specification | FMVSS 116 DOT 3 — US federal DOT 3 brake fluid standard. SAE J1703 — SAE DOT 3 brake fluid specification. ISO 4925 Class 3 — international DOT 3 brake fluid classification. Reliable boiling point — dependable dry and wet boiling points for general braking. Broad compatibility — suitable for general passenger-car brake systems. |
| OEM Suitability | Hydraulic brake and clutch systems specifying FMVSS 116 / SAE J1703 / ISO 4925 Class 3 (DOT 3). Use only the grade specified by the vehicle manufacturer. |
| Important Notice | Brake fluid is hygroscopic: keep containers sealed and do not reuse. Do not mix with silicone (DOT 5) fluid. ”Suitable for” does not mean official approval. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. |
