Brake Fluid
Only use Pentosin DoT 5.1 brake fluid.
Over time the brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air. This reduces its boiling point.
WARNING: If the boiling point of the
brake fluid is reduced too much
vapour pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are
applied hard (e.g. when driving
downhill or track driving) impairing
the braking efficiency. Therefore
the brake fluid must be replaced at
the recommended service intervals.
