Electrification and ADAS: The Brake Pad Connection
In a 45-minute webinar, the experts and engineers from ADVICS explore why most late-model vehicles require a premium brake job to restore the performance and safety of the total vehicle.
How to Identify and Repair Brake Fluid Leaks
Identify and repair brake fluid leaks with these considerations.
Repairing Lost Pedal Pressure Within Your Braking System
Learn about brake hydraulics and the most commonly under or misdiagnosed causes of pedal pressure and how you should fix it.
Identifying and Preventing Warped Rotors
Brake rotors play a critical role in stopping the vehicle safely. How does rotor warping happen, what are the side effects and how can you prevent it?
How to Diagnose Brake Noise Issues
Brake noise is the most common reasons for customers to visit the shop. Vibration, ‘morning sickness’ and contamination can all be causes of brake noise.
Brake Pad and Disc Rotor Replacement Procedure
Brakes play a vital role in maintaining road safety. In this video, we will explain how to replace brake pads and rotors in 10 steps.
Understanding Brake Fluid Viscosity
Viscosity is a measure of thickness for brake fluid, especially at low temps. Brake fluid needs to be thin so it easily flows through the ABS system.
Understanding the Critical Role of Brake Fluid
Brake fluid protects the metals used inside the braking system such as calipers, wheel cylinders, master cylinders, and ABS control valves.
Not All Brake Fluid Is Created Equal
Ultra-premium brake fluid is created with corrosion protection, excellent material combability and improved lubricity.
A Closer Look at Brake Fluid Boiling Points
A high boiling point is critical in enabling the brake fluid to transmit force to the braking system which results in a safer vehicle.
What is a DOT 4 LV Brake Fluid
Manufacturers have created low viscosity formulas of DOT 4. Viscosity is measured by how brake fluid spreads over a surface within a set time.
Recommending Ultra-Premium Brake Fluid
Ultra-premium brake fluid is designed to perform in any environment and deliver reliable brake system operation due to its low-temperature viscosity.
How Do You Test Brake Fluid
Due to brake fluid being hydroscopic, the condition depends on two types of indicators - water concentration and the condition of the additive.
How Do You Store Brake Fluid?
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, moisture will compromise the contents. Use or discard within a year after opening for maximum benefits.
Why Wet and Dry Boiling Points Are Important
Dry boiling points are the point that a new package of brake fluid boils at, while wet boiling points are measured after the brake fluid absorbs moisture.
Breaking Down the DOT Ratings for Brake Fluid
DOT numbers categorize brake fluid by its boiling point. For example, DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3 which gives it its higher number.
