Mixing Brake fluid

[ice15]

Sorry po, medyo old school question.

During my younger days (hmmm, 10 years ago)

Kapag magdadagdag ka ng brake fluid, always use Prestone. Kapag National kasi, may chance na mamaga yung mga rubber seals ng brakes.

Not unless National talaga gamit mong brake fluid, pero still di mo siya pwede dagdagan Prestone.

So nowadays... May mga Toyota/Honda etc branded brake fluids na gamit sa mga casa...

If you want to add brake fluid by yourself, safe pa din ba Prestone?

based on experience bro, kung na flush na dati yung brake system using Prestone, Prestone lang.

pero kung brand new vehicle, kung anong brand yung naka lagay, sample toyota, toyota brake fluid lang din ang ilagay.

karamihan ng talyer na napapagawan ko, yan lagi sinasabi ng mga experienced mechanics, wag maghahalo ng different brand ng brake fluid kasi namamaga mga seals/caps sa katagalan.

may vios kami, taxi, toyota brake fluid lang ginagamit namin pang flush o pang dagdag, hindi pa kami nagpapalit master/slave brake kit.

napa google tuloy ako, eto nakita ko mga brad

"Since DOT 4 and 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. ... By mixing DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 brake fluids, assuming it is fresh fluid, the worst thing that can happen is a drop in the boiling point of the whole fluid."

Hmmm, pareho naman DOT-3 yung Prestone and National (as per Google image search) hmmm.

i checked my brake fluid level and it is between the max and low. I dont add. because i know the brake pads are near getting worn off.

tanong lang, kung pudpod na ang brake pads mo, does this lead to frequent brake fluid lessening?

yup... pero I have this habit (noon) na after replacing the pads, bleed ko konti yung brakes para mabago/malinis yung fluid... kaya kailangan ko magdagdag ng fluid...

Sa akin basta kung dot 3, dot 3 lang ilagay regardless of brand.
Ang mahalaga regular maintenance ng fluid

siguro nga baka may leak lang, iniisip ko kasi baka yung worn-out break pads can contribute to brake fluid leaking hehe...

Pudpud na ba pads mo? Yun muna pa check mo then palitan pag tumaas eh di ok na.
