Purpose and Specifications

MAXGEAR 36-0047 is a DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid designed to transfer braking force from your pedal to the wheels while protecting your entire braking system. This 0.5-liter bottle contains premium synthetic fluid that resists heat buildup and maintains consistent performance under demanding driving conditions.

Key Performance Features:

• Dry boiling point of 245°C – keeps your brakes responsive even during intense braking on mountain roads or spirited driving
• Synthetic formula – provides superior protection against corrosion and component seizure
• DOT 4 specification – meets or exceeds manufacturer requirements for most modern vehicles, including performance and daily driver cars
• Incompressible hydraulic fluid – ensures immediate brake response when you need it most

When to Use and Replace?

Brake fluid is a safety-critical consumable that absorbs moisture from the air over time. Most manufacturers recommend replacing your brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 km, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in hot climates, tow heavy loads, or drive performance-oriented routes with extended braking, consider replacement every 12-18 months.

Use MAXGEAR 36-0047 if your vehicle manufacturer specifies DOT 4 fluid. You can also safely upgrade to DOT 4 if your car originally requires DOT 3, as it offers better heat resistance and durability. Never downgrade to a lower DOT specification.

Storage: Keep unopened bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use the fluid promptly and reseal tightly to prevent moisture absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix MAXGEAR DOT 4 with my existing brake fluid?
A: Yes, DOT 4 fluids are generally compatible with each other. However, for best results, perform a complete brake fluid flush and refill rather than topping off with a different brand.

Q: Why does my brake fluid need replacing if it looks clean?
A: Brake fluid absorbs moisture invisibly from the air. This water lowers the boiling point and reduces braking performance over time, even if the fluid appears clear. Regular replacement maintains safety and prevents brake fade during hard braking.

Q: Is synthetic brake fluid better than mineral-based?
A: Yes. Synthetic formulas like MAXGEAR 36-0047 offer superior heat resistance, corrosion protection, and longer service life compared to mineral-based alternatives.
