Bennington Nissan wants to make things as easy as possible for you, so today we thought we’d share a guide to your ride post! What is brake fluid and why is it important? Well, brake fluid, also called hydraulic fluid, is a liquid chemical solution that pumps through your hydraulic braking system when you press down on the break. The fluid amplifies the force you use to press down and uses it to apply pressure onto your car’s brakes, allowing you to come to a complete stop with minimal exertion on your part. Braking fluid has to have a high boiling point because friction from the brake pads can create a lot of heat and threaten to evaporate surrounding liquids into gas, decreasing hydraulic pressure and your ability to effectively brake. You also have to be wary of your brake fluid’s viscosity as it needs to remain constant across wide ranges of temperature to properly relay the right amount of pressure to your brakes. Thankfully, Bennington Nissan offers a comprehensive brake service where our dedicated service professionals not only check your brake fluid but diligently go over the entirety of your braking system to be sure there are no issues.  So, stay safe and schedule your next service appointment with a Bennington Nissan service team member.

3 Signs You Need to Get Your Brake Fluid Checked:

  1. “Soft”/“squishy” feeling brake pedal.  
  • This means there is less fluid in your lines to compress and create that pressure needed to fully brake
  1. Oily puddles forming under your car. 
  • This could be brake fluid leaking from any number of place within your hydraulic system 
  1. The ABS warning light on your dashboard has come on. 
  • Those lights aren’t just there for decoration. They turn on to indicate your vehicle is in need or service in one way or the other.
