Cincinnati drivers know that brake fluid is necessary for their vehicle, yet not everyone knows what brake fluid looks like. So, what color is brake fluid and why is it important for your vehicle? At first, your brake fluid appears clear with a yellowish tint, however, as the fluid is used over time, the color and viscosity of the liquid can change dramatically. That’s when it’s time to schedule a service appointment with the certified technicians at Joe Morgan Honda. If you have questions about your vehicle maintenance, reach out to us!
When drivers are on Middletown streets, brake fluid is the vital hydraulic fluid that keeps the brake system working smoothly. The fluid keeps the system lubricated so it can avoid corrosion and makes the movement of the brake pedal easier. It’s important for drivers to monitor the levels and the color of the brake fluid because if it becomes too low or contaminated, it could hinder the vehicle’s performance and overall safety on the road.
Not everyone around Lebanon is a DIY car care enthusiast, but drivers interested in the color of their brake fluid can monitor it with a simple process. Drivers with a keen eye can begin to tell what is normal when it comes to their brake fluid and what is not by performing regular checks. This allows drivers to prepare for any problems, so they’re ready when it’s time to schedule service and handle repairs. Follow these simple steps for checking what the brake fluid looks like at home:
Along with our understanding of brake fluid colors, you’ll see our team at Joe Morgan Honda can offer details about the different brake fluid types to meet the needs of your vehicle and ensure long-lasting performance. Much of what separates these fluids from one another is their properties and how they affect the temperature of your braking system. Here’s a look at the various brake fluid types as well as the common colors you’ll find them in:
If you see that you have dark brake fluid in your vehicle’s system, you’ll need to have this flushed out and cleaned so you can replace it. The darker color indicates that it has been absorbing dirt and debris as you drive, as well as water, which can lead to further issues down the road.
Keeping up with Honda brake service is a must for safe driving. How often should you change your brake fluid? Brake fluid service should be performed every three years in your Honda vehicle. How much does brake fluid service cost? Fortunately, bringing your vehicle in for brake fluid replacement is an easy and affordable appointment. It generally will cost between $70 and $120 to flush and replace the brake fluid. Rely on the automotive service experts at Joe Morgan Honda for all of your Honda brake service needs.
