Purpose and Specifications

Keep your brakes responsive and safe with BOSCH Brake Fluid 1 987 479 204, a premium DOT 4 formula designed for reliable hydraulic performance. This high-quality yellow fluid resists boiling even under intense braking heat, maintaining firm pedal feel during spirited drives or heavy loads. It flows smoothly in cold weather down to -40°C, ensuring quick response when you need it most, and stays stable in hot conditions to prevent fade.

Supplied in a sturdy 20-liter tank, it's perfect for professional workshops or bulk fleet maintenance. Key practical benefits:

• High heat tolerance for safe stopping power in demanding conditions.
• Excellent cold-weather flow for consistent braking year-round.
• Premium BOSCH quality that protects seals and prevents corrosion.

When to Use / Replace?

Flush your brake fluid every 2 years or 30,000-45,000 km under normal driving to avoid moisture buildup that causes spongy pedals and longer stops. For towing, track use, or extreme climates, replace annually or every 20,000 km. Shelf life is typically 3-5 years when unopened and stored properly in a cool, dry place.

Compatible with all DOT 4 systems in cars, trucks, and motorcycles—check your owner's manual for confirmation.
