All braking systems need fluid in order to transmit force properly. There are different types of brake fluid that you may need for your vehicle. These break down into multiple DOT types, including 3, 4, and 5. DOT5 is different from DOT3 and DOT4 as it i made from silicon. The difference is the longevity and depending on how often you brake, you may want DOT5 for its long-lasting properties over the first two types.
Brake fluid keeps your brakes from grinding against one another and ensures that heat is controlled within the braking system. If you have too much heat, your brake fluid will evaporate quicker and cause issues for your brakes.
Are you hearing a squealing when you stop? You may have a brake issue. You can get a full brake diagnostic and fluid check from Crown Ford. Their mechanics in our service department offer all types brake services for a great rate in Redding.
