    There is no difference in the physical characteristics of these two types of oil sheets, and they should not be mixed. Steering oil and brake fluid are not the same, so they should not be used together:

    1. Brake fluid, that is, brake fluid. It is a liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in a hydraulic braking system and is used in a vehicle equipped with a hydraulic braking system;

    2. The direction oil is the transmission fluid, and the key indicator is the low-temperature fluidity. When the temperature is as low as a few tens of degrees below zero, it will not thicken, so that the steering machine can be controlled freely. Hope it helps.

    The brake fluid is generally replaced every two years (about 40,000 kilometers), and the steering power oil can be changed after 30,000-40,000 kilometers.

    Brake fluid: Generally speaking, the car brake fluid needs to be replaced every two years, and the brake fluid will be worn to varying degrees after being used for a long time, so it is better to replace the car brake fluid.

    Power Steering Oil:

    Generally, automobile manufacturers do not strictly regulate the replacement interval of steering power oil. Most car maintenance and repair shops will refer to other service companies in the same industry and learn from each other's strengths. There are also more standardized enterprises will refer to the car maintenance requirements of foreign automobile companies, and make more reasonable provisions in combination with the current road conditions, air quality and technical level of users in China.

    It is recommended that in order to prevent the steering power oil from being too dirty or deteriorating, the power steering oil should be replaced once every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers.

    How to change the brake fluid of the car.

    1. First put the car on the flat ground, turn off the engine and pull the handbrake.

    2. Remove the right rear wheel with jack support (refer to how to replace the spare tire by yourself), find the oil drain port of the sub-pump, and cover the prepared 40 cm long rubber pipe nozzle to the oil drain port of the sub-pump, so as not to pollute the ground or car body when the oil flows out. Place the other end of the nozzle in a jar.

    3. Use a small open-end wrench to pull the outer six sides at the bottom of the oil drain port of the sub-cylinder, at this time let another person get on the car and step on the brake pedal, and pull the small wrench counterclockwise (this is the action of loosening the oil drain port of the sub-pump), at this time the waste oil begins to flow into the jar, and when the flow rate is significantly weakened, the wrench is pulled back clockwise (this is the action of tightening the oil drain port of the sub-cylinder), and then shout "loose", and the person in the driving position releases the brake pedal.

    4. Unscrew the oil drain port of the sub-pump again, and then shout "step", the person in the driver's position steps the brake pedal again, and after repeating 4 times, the driver gets out of the car and fills the brake oil reservoir with new brake oil. Top up.

    5. Return to the driver's position and continue the previous operation until the discharged waste oil becomes clear, which proves that the new oil has been ejected.

    6. Finally, after pulling back the wrench clockwise, and then shouting "loose", the driver relaxes the brake pedal. Unplug the rubber pipe, wipe the oil drain port of the sub-pump with a soft cloth, and then let the driver press the brake pedal several times to observe whether there is oil seeping out, so as to confirm that the oil drain port of the sub-pump has been tightened.

    7. Install back to the right rear wheel, and complete the oil discharge step of a wheel sub-pump at this time. And so on, and release the waste oil from the other three wheel sub-pumps.

    8. Finally, add the new brake fluid between the upper and lower limit scale marks, preferably close to the upper limit. Note that the brake fluid is corrosive to the paint and **, and should be removed in time if it hits it. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, so be sure to tighten the cap after adding brake fluid to prevent moisture from being sucked in the air.

    9. Step on the brakes a few more times on the spot, feel not soft, observe that there is no new oil stain on the ground, conduct a road test, and check the oil level of the brake oil after each use of the car in the following week, and determine the success of the oil change operation if there is no change. If there is a decrease, it is important to check whether the oil drain port of each wheel cylinder is tightened.

    Automobile steering oil and brake fluid can not be interchanged, because the role of the two oils is different, the function of the oil is also different, and the steering oil is mainly lubricated.

    No, the two oils are not the same, the steering power oil can be replaced by automatic transmission oil, which is a similar product. Brake fluid needs good stability at high temperature, different uses, and brake oil is soluble in water, and power steering oil is insoluble in water.

    This is not interchangeable, and the brake fluid can only use special brake fluid, otherwise it will affect the braking effect is very dangerous.

    No, brake fluid has a high boiling point and a less water content than a dilute one.

    The steering oil is different, and the boiling point is definitely not interchangeable for the brake fluid.

    Car brakes.

    The oil copy needs to be changed.

    The brake fluid change interval can be used according to the vehicle's BAI.

    du, mileage, driving road conditions, braking agility, etc., can be appropriately advanced or delayed for a period of time.

    Because the new car is the original brake fluid, the quality is better, and the use time can be appropriately extended, and it can be replaced in about 5 years. The replacement time of a normal vehicle is about 2-3 years and about 50,000 kilometers.

    Brake fluid is also called brake fluid or force fluid, and the most likely deterioration of the whole car oil is brake fluid. Because the brake fluid has strong water absorption, the brake fluid after water absorption is easy to deteriorate, and the boiling point is reduced, which directly affects the braking effect.

    But many old drivers say that they haven't changed the brake fluid, and there is no problem with the brakes, and it doesn't matter if they change the brake fluid or not. The braking system operates in a relatively sealed environment, and the brake fluid basically does not absorb water and fails. In fact, the deterioration of brake fluid is a relatively long process, which is why brake fluid generally has to be replaced every 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, although the brake system is relatively sealed, but it is not that it does not absorb water, but the process is relatively slow.

    In addition, in areas with different humidity, the deterioration cycle is also long. For example, Zhanjiang, as a coastal city in the south, has heavy humidity, and the replacement cycle will be shortened accordingly.

    The brake fluid has deteriorated, not that there is no braking force at all, but there is a process from "hard to soft". After driving the car for a long time, the brakes become soft, in addition to the wear and tear of the brake discs and calipers, there is also the problem of brake fluid. This can be felt in the feel of the brakes, and it also increases the chance of brake failure.

    Deterioration of brake fluid will increase the chance of brake failure, which is actually a matter of probability. Like an airbag, you may not have a chance to use it once when the car is scrapped, but if the quality of the airbag is not good, once an accident occurs, it will not be opened, it is a gamble!

    1. Generally speaking, it is recommended to change the brake fluid every 2 years, but this cycle can be long or short according to the use. Brake fluid replacement.

    Cycle, the official maintenance cycle of each brand of car is different, which is related to the brand and model of brake fluid, brake fluid has a certain corrosiveness, water absorption is also relatively strong, now many repair stations have special tools to detect the moisture content of brake oil, you can do a test, to see if it needs to be replaced. The brake fluid must be replaced regularly when it is time for maintenance, and it is best to refer to the maintenance cycle specified by the manufacturer for maintenance.

    Need to change, brake oil is not changed, it is easy to cause brake failure, very dangerous, that is, the brake can not be stepped on! Therefore, it is recommended to change it once when driving 25,000-30,000 kilometers, and when you change it, you will find that your brake pump Reed brake fluid is already black and sticky! When changing the brake fluid, it is recommended to check the brake calipers and brake discs together, whether there are micro cracks and small broken places, and if so, it is recommended to replace them immediately

    The brake oil is generally replaced once every 1-2 years, but also according to the climate of your location, the brake oil has a major feature is moisture absorption, and the tide is very easy to contain water in the brake oil, and excessive water can lead to brake failure. At present, most of the markets are, dot3, dot4, dot5 numbers are larger, the higher the boiling point, the better, dot5 racing grade, the quality of brake fluid depends on the boiling point of the oil.

    Artificial good. Brake fluid is a liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in a hydraulic braking system and is used in vehicles with hydraulic braking systems. Brake fluid, also known as brake fluid or force oil, is an indispensable part of braking system braking, and in the braking system, it is used as a force transmission medium, because the liquid can not be compressed, so the pressure output from the master cylinder will be directly transmitted to the sub-cylinder through the brake fluid.

    Characteristics: (1) The freezing point of automobile brake fluid is very low, and it has good fluidity at low temperature.

    2) The boiling point of automobile brake fluid is extremely high, and there will be no gas resistance in the state of high temperature.

    Note: (1) "Vehicle" refers to motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles.

    2) "Motor vehicle" refers to a wheeled vehicle that is driven or towed by a power unit and driven on the road for personnel or for transporting goods and carrying out special engineering operations.

    3) "Non-motorized vehicles" refers to vehicles driven by human or animal power and driven on the road, as well as motorized wheelchairs for the disabled, electric bicycles and other vehicles that are driven by power units but have a design maximum speed, empty mass and external dimensions that meet the relevant national standards.

    Let's talk about the concept of machine oil change and manual oil change.

    Manual oil change is actually called gravity oil change, that is, let go of the oil and flow it out by itself, so that the oil change will have some residue of the original oil, and then add new oil and mix it together.

    Machine oil change, is to use the machine to change the oil cycle, to put it simply, use the new oil to clean this again, and then add new oil!

    Manual oil change 1L, the machine needs to cycle the oil change needs almost 4L, the effect you can't feel it, the brake is still the brake, but the impurities inside are cleaned relatively clean, which helps to prolong the life of the brake pump!

    Normal manual oil change can be, 40,000 kilometers to change, no problem!

    There is almost no difference between manually changing the brake fluid and the machine changing the brake fluid, and sometimes the manual replacement is more meticulous in the emptying process, more assured, and more effective.

    Automobile oil replacementOnly in the operation of changing the gearbox oil, the machine replacement is more advantageous. Because the machine is under high pressure, it is cleaner to flush the stubborn sludge in the wave oil. The downside is that the amount of oil required is more than double that of manual replacement, and of course the cost is more than double.

    No. These two fluids are not universal, first of all, brake fluid.

    It does not have the lubricating effect of booster oil, and cannot protect the gears and bearings well. The second is the difference in temperature resistance, the temperature resistance range of brake fluid is -40 288, and the booster oil can only reach about 170, you must know that the temperature of the car can reach more than 200 when braking suddenly, so the booster oil and brake fluid are irreplaceable oils.

    In fact, brake fluid is irreplaceable by any oil, after all, the surplus and disadvantages of different fluids are different, and naturally the original effect of brake fluid cannot be achieved. If it is replaced by other random search oil, not only will the braking effect drop a lot, but it is also possible to directly lead to the failure of the vertical brake. Therefore, when you lack brake fluid, you must not add other fluids indiscriminately.

    If it is true that brake fluid cannot be bought in a particular situation.

    It will be necessary to replace it with alcohol or liquor, but at this time the braking system.

    There is a decline, so we must drive at a low speed, of course, we can't brake suddenly, and then drive to the nearest auto repair shop to deal with it.

    Power booster fluid and brake fluid are not universal, why do you say that? First of all, the brake fluid does not have the lubricating effect of the booster oil, and it cannot protect the gears and bearings well.

    Secondly, although both of them are used as hydraulic (force) transmission media, their temperature resistance is different. The temperature resistance range of brake fluid is -40 288, and the booster oil can only reach about 170, you must know that the temperature of the car can reach more than 200 when braking suddenly, so the booster oil and brake fluid are irreplaceable with each other.
