Purpose and Specifications

REMSA LCA800201 is a reliable DOT 4 brake fluid designed for hydraulic brake and clutch systems in everyday vehicles. It exceeds SAE J1703 and ISO 4925 standards, delivering a minimum dry boiling point of 260°C to prevent vapor lock during hard braking, ensuring firm pedal feel and safe stops.

This mid-range fluid from REMSA lubricates moving parts to reduce wear, flows quickly for responsive braking, and resists corrosion in master and wheel cylinders. Replace every 2 years or 40,000 km to maintain peak performance, as it absorbs moisture over time which lowers its boiling point and risks system failure.

When to Use / Replace?

• Hard or frequent braking: High heat demands require fluid that stays liquid above 260°C.
• Every 2 years: Moisture from air shortens life; fresh fluid prevents spongy brakes and corrosion.
• Dark or contaminated fluid: Check color - clear golden to amber is good; dark means replace now.
• Before 100,000 km: Or sooner in humid climates to avoid boiling and fade.

Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry. Compatible with disc/drum systems; check your manual for DOT 4 approval.

FAQ

Q: Can I mix REMSA DOT 4 with other brake fluids?
A: Best to flush and use only DOT 4, but it's miscible with similar DOT 4 types - always verify vehicle specs.

Q: What happens if brake fluid boils?
A: Pedal sinks with no braking power (vapor lock); high boiling point of 260°C prevents this in normal use.

Q: How do I know when to replace it?
A: Every 2 years, or if fluid looks dark/contaminated. Test boiling point drop from moisture at a shop.
