When to Use / Replace?

Use this DOT 4 fluid in most modern cars, motorcycles, and trucks calling for DOT 3 or DOT 4 specs. Replace every 2 years or 40,000 km (whichever comes first) to avoid moisture buildup that lowers boiling point and causes spongy brakes. Ideal for high-performance use or track days where brakes hit over 150°C regularly. Shelf life is 3-5 years unopened.
