    Just sharing my new tool.

    The Brake Fluid Tester is powered by 1pc AAA battery. Small, lightweight, portable and very simple to use. Press the power button on top to turn on the tool. Dip the test probes into the brake fluid. The LED indicators will light up immediately to indicate amount of moisture in the brake fluid.

    Green = 0% (No water detected)
    Green/Yellow = <1%
    Green/Yellow/Yellow = 2%
    Green/Yellow/Yellow/Red = 3% (Recommended to change brake fluid)
    Green/Yellow/Yellow/Red/Red = >4% (Change brake fluid immediately)

    The tool will Auto Power Off after about 10 seconds.

    I can think of two ways that this tool can save you money. (1) It can prevent changing the brake fluid too early; thereby maximizing the useful life of your brake fluid. (2) It can prevent changing the brake fluid too late; thereby preventing vehicular accidents and damages.

    How much does this cost? Baka di naman cost effective

    As far as I remember, around >200 lang ang over-the counter brake fluid for 1 liter from Prestone, National, Petron, etc and it would be enough on a regular-sized car I think.

    Priced at ow el eks for 1500, it would be better kahit annually ka mag change ng brake fluid

    I think you can tell if the fluid is good or bad by just looking inside the cup.

    The tool will pay for itself eventually. Lalo if you own several vehicles. I purchased it to know the current quality of my brake fluids so no need for me to guess if ok pa ba sila or hindi na.

    P590 ang bili ko for 3 bottles of Toyota brake fluid, 3 x 12 oz (354 ml). Plus labor fee sa suking talyer.

    You cannot know the amount of moisture in the brake fluid just by looking.

    You can tell if its already dirty by the color. As already pointed out, just regularly flush the fluid. Its cheap anyway.

    trucks drivers/operators should have this so they stop blaming brake failure by early detection...

    Dirt or color is different from moisture. A clear looking brake fluid may already have 3-4% moisture. Hence, the need for a brake fluid tester.

    Another example is tire air pressure. You cannot tell the current air pressure of your tire just by looking. Hence, the need for a tire gauge. I also have this in my car.

    I already tested mine and it is working fine. I dipped it into new brake fluid and it shows 0%. Next, I dipped it into a glass of water and it shows >4%.

    Plenty of good reviews from Amazon buyers as well.

    Just like what the article said, it depends on manufacturing quality.

    "However, customers should be aware that these testers are not all of the same design and some are very much better than others."

    If product does not work, return it to the seller.

    It may not be in the Rules (have not checked) pero you need to inform the public na you are the one behind the store/page, you have been posting too many products already posing as a new gadget or item na you discovered, IMO lang naman.

    Your opinion is welcome bro. Although I am connected to the store, what I share and post are products that I am using as well. I cannot post something that I have not used yet.
