Purpose and Specifications

FERODO FBX500 is a premium DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid designed for cars and motorcycles under normal street conditions. This 5-liter bottle delivers reliable braking performance by maintaining hydraulic pressure and resisting heat buildup, preventing brake fade during everyday drives.

Key practical benefits include a dry boiling point of 240°C to stay effective in hot conditions up to 240°C, and a wet boiling point of 159°C even after absorbing moisture over time. It offers low viscosity for smooth operation in cold starts and protects against corrosion while minimizing rubber swell in seals.

• Volume: 5 liters - perfect for full system flushes or workshops
• Compatible with: DOT 3 and DOT 4 systems, SAE J1703/J1704 standards
• Shelf life: Up to 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry

When to Use / Replace?

Use FERODO FBX500 for routine maintenance on disc or drum brakes in daily drivers. Replace every 2 years or 40,000 km to avoid moisture contamination that lowers performance - test boiling point annually if pushing temps above 150°C in spirited driving.

Ideal for vehicles operating in temperatures from -40°C to over 200°C under load, ensuring consistent pedal feel and safety.

How do I know when to change my brake fluid?
Change every 2 years or 40,000 km, or if it darkens or tests below 159°C wet boiling point using a simple tester.
