Purpose and Specifications
WOLF DOT 4 LV Brake Fluid is a low-viscosity hydraulic brake fluid engineered for modern vehicles equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program). This 250 ml bottle provides the exact fluid your braking system needs to maintain safe, responsive stopping power.
Unlike standard DOT 4 fluids, the LV (low-viscosity) formulation flows more easily through the micro-valves in ABS and ESP systems, especially in cold weather. This means your anti-lock brakes respond faster and more reliably when you need them most.
- Wet Boiling Point: 172°C – significantly higher than conventional DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids, preventing brake fade during hard braking or towing
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +260°C – performs reliably from winter cold to summer heat
- Corrosion Protection: Neutralizes acids that form in brake systems, extending component lifespan
- Seal Compatibility: Works safely with all standard brake system materials without leaks or degradation
When to Use / Replace?
Replace your brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 km, whichever comes first. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time, which lowers its boiling point and reduces braking performance. This 250 ml bottle is ideal for topping up between services or for small brake system maintenance tasks.
Use WOLF DOT 4 LV if your vehicle manufacturer specifies DOT 4 and your car has ABS or ESP systems. Check your owner's manual for the exact specification required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I mix this with my current brake fluid?
A: Yes, WOLF DOT 4 LV is fully compatible with other DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids. However, for best results, flush the system completely when switching brands.
Q: Why is this called 'LV' (low-viscosity)?
A: The lower thickness at cold temperatures (-40°C) allows faster fluid movement through ABS valve channels, giving you quicker brake response in winter conditions and better system responsiveness overall.
Q: How long does an opened bottle last?
A: Keep the cap tightly sealed. An opened bottle should be used within 6 months to prevent moisture absorption. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
