Purpose and Specifications

FERODO FBX050B is a premium synthetic DOT 4 brake fluid in a convenient 0.5-liter bottle, designed for cars and motorcycles under normal driving conditions. It delivers reliable braking performance by resisting heat buildup, preventing vapor lock that causes spongy brakes or failure during hard stops.

This fluid excels in everyday use, maintaining strong pedal feel even after absorbing moisture over time. It meets DOT 4, DOT 3, ISO 4925 Class 3 and 4, and SAE J1703/J1704 standards, ensuring compatibility with most European, Japanese, and US vehicles. Key practical benefits include a dry boiling point over 240°C for safe operation in hot conditions like summer traffic or hilly drives, and a wet boiling point of 159°C to handle typical moisture exposure without losing effectiveness.

• Volume: 0.5 liters – perfect for routine flushes or top-ups
• Shelf life: Up to 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry
• Operating temps: Stays effective from -40°C cold starts to high-heat stops over 200°C

When to Use / Replace?

Use FERODO FBX050B for standard road vehicles needing dependable, low-maintenance braking. Ideal for daily drivers, family cars, and bikes without extreme racing demands. Replace every 2 years or 40,000 km to avoid moisture-related boiling and corrosion – check fluid color; dark or cloudy means it's time.

Avoid mixing with mineral oils like LHM; fully flush systems when switching fluids. Test boiling point with a Ferodo tester for precise condition checks.
