The ABC’s of Brake Fluid

Few items in modern motorsports have been marketed to professional racers and enthusiasts as “creatively” as brake fluid. While seemingly simple, brake fluid is saddled with just enough chemistry and material science terms to quickly outpace even most race engineers. Some terms have been tossed around with so little clarity that their true meanings are often misinterpreted, if not misrepresented altogether. Add in a few bench-racing tales and no wonder people throw up their hands and say – “Forget it! Just give me what the fast guys are using!”
“Wet” versus “dry” boiling point? Compressibility? Hygroscopic? DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5, DOT 5.1…
What’s all this gibberish mean anyway? If you want to know what is most important about brake fluid (and how picking the right one will give you more time to work on going faster), reading these ABC’s will help put you at the top of the class in Brake Fluid Science 101. Even if you skip the final exam, you will at least know WHY the pros carefully choose what they use!
