When to Use / Replace?

Use this low-viscosity (LV) fluid in vehicles needing quick response in cold weather or high-performance braking. Replace every 2-3 years or 40,000-60,000 km, or sooner if fluid darkens or you notice spongy brakes. Shelf life is 3-5 years unopened; always check your owner's manual for exact intervals. Ideal for demanding drives above 100°C operating temps.
