Brake Fluid

[fitdrive]

Kung Dot3 lang, the Shell dot3 is good enough. Mura pa P220 for 1 liter. And shell stations can do bleeding plus aircleaning, sandpaper-ing of brake calipers and pads.

Sa shell before, vacuum lang ginawa from the brake fluid reservoir. I didnt know na pwede pala sila mag bleed.

Yes they do sir. Yun bomba method. I did it twice with them na with 2 cars. Basta dapat mechanic din yun nag-bomba ng preno. One time kasi, medyo late na ako nakapag-servicem after office, walang makuha mechanic yun mekaniko ko to pump the brakes, ang kinuha yun shell helper na teenager na may neon vest, sobrang tamad nun bata. Ayun lumulusot yun preno, may hangin pala. Pero next day naman, they corrected it.

Yun vacuum method is if you ask them to replace brake fluid, as what the Casa do. Get the full service, change brake fluid + plus bleeding, check and clean brake pads and calipers (this is using sandpaper and machine grinder for the pads, and aircleaning of brake components using compressed air after. Medyo mahal lang P220 (brake fluid) + 180 per tire or P720.

Yun casa kse they have this service brake pad cleaning sevice every PMS, around P150- P250 using brake cleaner spray. Walang kwenta yun, it will have effect for 2 weeks, medyo kapit preno tapos pag-nag dry na cleaner spray or maybe after a car wash at na-sprayan ang brake calipers. Rotors and pads, wala na kasi andyan na oxidation / rust

Went to a shell station last weekend to have my engine oil and filter changed, ATF replacement, and brake fluid replacement via bleeding. They did the oil change using shell oil and vic filter, and replaced ATF using the fluid I purchased from Toyota.

However they suggested that I just perform the brake fluid replacement using a syringe that can be bought from mercury drug then do the top-up using any DOT3 brake fluid. Anyone here who have successfully done this? Are there any risk?

I bought brake bleed tool from lazada for 1200 pesos. It comes with a manual vacuum pump, containers and tubes.. i replaced my brake fluid using that tool... no need to manually pump the brake. Just make sure to fill up every time you bleed. Start from the farthest wheel from the brake reservoir

How does that work? I mean, do you need to remove the tires or it is just attached to the brake fluid reservoir? Thanks

suggest ko just let the pms gas stations do it, for brake bleeding and replacement would not cost php250, well worth it plus brake fluid cost of less than 300

Honestly, if i do not get a confirmation here who have successfully done this using the syringe method, baka isabay ko nalang yung brake fluid bleeding sa next pms ko (after 5K kms) tutal ipapa brake cleaning ko na rin tsaka wheel rotation.

What i did is to completely evacuate the system of the old fluid.. then replace with fresh fluid (changed to DOT4). Removed tires and pump out fluid from bleed valve using the brake line bleed tool.

You can buy the tool and ask your mechanic to do it. Or do the old the tested trick.. pump-hard press-release

That method doesn't fully flush the system.

If you're in the QC area and Banawe is accessible, i used to have my brake fluid flushing done at Wheelers Suspension Haus along N. Roxas St. They have a brake dialysis tool that can suck the system clean.

Unfortunately I live in Calamba, and as far as I have read in this forum, can't find a shop nearby that offers brake dialysis.

Better let the professionals do brake bleeding. A mistake doing this task can lead to death or injury. No kidding.

Me i am a DIY mechanic but when it comes to things like this id rather pay to have it done correctly.

I asked the help of a mechanic to replace the brake pads. Unfortunately, we had a good chat that both of us forgot about the level of the brake fluid. In other words, the fluid spilled.

What I did is, I poured water here:



I was hoping that water will travel slowly all the way where the fluid spilled. Then later, I decided to use a hose to water everything besides it.



Did I do the right thing?

washing spilled brake fluid with lots and lots water, is the right thing to do.
brake fluid acts as a paint stripper. get all of it out by using lots of water.
but be careful that you do not force it into the clutch and/or brake fluid reservoir, and you do not get it onto sensitive electrical parts. be mindful of the pressure.
