Braking technology in a car is used to stop and slow down the car, which ensures traffic safety. Before going to an auto shop, you need to clearly understand what kind of brake fluid you need in your car. Before buying or pouring fluid into the brake system, you should read the technical documentation and instructions of the car manufacturer. The fact is that the brake fluid must have the appropriate properties. As a rule, the technical data sheet specifies the marking of the required fluid.
