FEBI BILSTEIN DOT 4 Brake Fluid – Premium Braking Performance

Purpose and Specifications

FEBI BILSTEIN 26748 is a premium DOT 4 brake fluid engineered to deliver reliable stopping power across a wide range of driving conditions. This 0.25-liter bottle meets strict international standards including ISO 4925, SAE J 1703, and manufacturer specifications from Mercedes-Benz (MB 331.0), Ford, GM, Jaguar, and Renault.

Key Performance Features:

• Dry Boiling Point: 260°C – Protects against brake fade during intense braking, towing, or mountain driving
• Wet Boiling Point: 180°C – Maintains safe braking even after the fluid absorbs moisture over time
• Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably from -40°C in winter to +230°C under extreme braking stress
• Corrosion Protection: Prevents rust and degradation inside brake lines and cylinders
• ABS Compatible: Safe for modern anti-lock braking and electronic stability control systems

When to Use / Replace?

Replace your brake fluid every 1–2 years, regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, which gradually lowers its boiling point and reduces braking safety. After approximately 2 years of service, moisture content reaches levels that compromise performance. If you notice soft or spongy brake pedal feel, or if your vehicle has been exposed to humid conditions, replace the fluid sooner.

This product is ideal for:

• Regular maintenance on European vehicles (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW, Ford, Renault, Jaguar)
• High-performance driving or towing applications
• Vehicles operating in wet or humid climates
• Scheduled brake system servicing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix FEBI BILSTEIN DOT 4 with other brake fluids?
A: No. Always use the same DOT rating and brand when topping up or replacing. Mixing different fluids can reduce boiling point and compromise braking safety. Always flush the entire system when switching brands.

Q: Why does my brake fluid need replacing if I don't drive much?
A: Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air even when the car sits unused. After 1–2 years, moisture content rises enough to lower the boiling point significantly, reducing braking performance in emergency situations. Time matters more than mileage.

Q: Is DOT 4 suitable for my car?
A: Check your vehicle's owner manual or the brake fluid reservoir cap. FEBI BILSTEIN DOT 4 meets specifications for most European and American vehicles built after 1990. It is compatible with ABS and electronic brake systems.
