Purpose and Specifications

MAXGEAR 000406 is a reliable synthetic DOT 4 brake fluid in a 1-liter bottle, perfect for budget-conscious drivers needing dependable braking performance. It resists boiling even under intense heat from hard stops or track days, staying effective up to 260°C dry and 160°C wet - far beyond everyday driving temps of 100-150°C.

This German-made fluid meets strict standards like FMVSS 116 DOT 4 and approvals for Mazda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and Renault, ensuring smooth pedal feel, corrosion protection for brake components, and compatibility with most modern ABS and ESP systems.

When to Use / Replace?

Use MAXGEAR 000406 for routine brake maintenance or upgrades in passenger cars, light trucks, and performance vehicles. Replace every 2 years or 40,000 km - whichever comes first - as it absorbs moisture over time, dropping performance. Shelf life is 3-5 years unopened in a cool, dry place.

• Ideal for high-heat conditions like towing, mountains, or spirited driving
• Flush if brakes feel spongy, pedal sinks, or during service
• Winter-friendly: Flows easily at -40°C for quick response

FAQ

Can I mix MAXGEAR DOT 4 with my old DOT 3 fluid? No, always fully flush the system to avoid reaction and gas formation - DOT 4 is backward compatible but not the reverse.

How much fluid for a full brake flush? Typically 1 liter for most cars; double-check your manual for calipers and master cylinder sizes.

Is it safe for motorcycle brakes? Yes, if specs match DOT 4 requirements - confirm with your bike's manual.
