K2 DOT4 Brake Fluid 250ml – High-Performance Braking System Protection

Purpose and Specifications

K2 DOT4 is a fully synthetic brake fluid engineered for brake and clutch systems in cars and motorcycles with standard to moderately high-performance engines. This glycol-based fluid is designed to work reliably in modern vehicles equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking systems) and electronic stability control.

Key Performance Benefits:

• High Boiling Point: Resists brake fade during heavy braking, stop-and-go traffic, and mountain driving. Maintains performance at temperatures up to 155°C (311°F).
• Moisture Protection: Absorbs water that naturally enters brake systems over time, preventing corrosion of brake components like calipers and master cylinders.
• Temperature Stability: Performs reliably in both cold and hot conditions, ensuring consistent braking response year-round.
• Seal Compatibility: Safe for all rubber seals and metal alloys used in modern brake systems.
• Fully Mixable: Compatible with DOT3 brake fluids, making it suitable for topping off or complete system changes.

When to Use / Replace?

Replace K2 DOT4 every 2 years or 40,000 km, whichever comes first. More frequent replacement (annually) is recommended if you regularly drive in mountainous terrain, tow heavy loads, or perform aggressive braking. Check your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule for specific intervals.

Use this fluid in any vehicle that calls for DOT3 or DOT4 specification. It is ideal for European vehicles, modern cars with advanced braking systems, and vehicles experiencing frequent heavy braking.

Storage and Safety:

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shelf life is typically 3–5 years in sealed containers. Keep away from children and wash hands after handling. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse immediately with water for several minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix K2 DOT4 with my current brake fluid?
A: Yes. K2 DOT4 is fully compatible with DOT3 and other DOT4 fluids. You can safely top off or perform a complete fluid change without system damage.

Q: Why does my brake fluid need replacing if it looks clean?
A: Brake fluid absorbs moisture invisibly over time, even through brake lines. This water lowers the boiling point and can cause corrosion inside your brake system. Regular replacement prevents brake failure under heavy braking.

Q: Is K2 DOT4 suitable for my older car?
A: Yes. K2 DOT4 works in any vehicle designed for DOT3 or DOT4 fluids and actually improves safety and performance compared to older R3 fluids used in classic vehicles.
