Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point.
G Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low, vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving downhill). This would
impair braking efficiency.
