The braking system is one of the most important vehicle functions used by motorists and is essential for safe driving. Drivers must therefore ensure that all components are in good condition to be able to brake properly. One of the essential elements to check is the brake fluid or oil. At Oreca Store, we offer several high-quality AP Racing brake fluids for your various needs. These non-expandable fluids do not contain silicone and improve the transmission power to strengthen your car's braking system.

Brake fluid: what is it used for?

Brake oil or brake fluid is said to be incompressible. Its main role is to transmit the braking force initiated by the driver to the wheels of the vehicle. The brake fluid will thus propagate through the hydraulic system to allow the vehicle to slow down or stop.

The system works in such a way that when the user presses the brake pedal, the brake oil pushes the brake pads against the car's brake discs, which heat up in return. The heat generated by this braking is transferred to the brake fluid, which will eventually degrade over time. When it becomes less effective, the brake fluid can cause damage to the vehicle's brakes, which is why it should be changed.

When to change your brake fluid?

To ensure that your car's braking system works properly, you should regularly check the brake fluid level. Make sure that there is enough fluid to pressurise the hydraulic system. It should also be bled periodically, when the fluid starts to lose its properties. Brake oil is hydrophobic and has the ability to absorb water even from the air. When the amount of water in the brake fluid exceeds a certain threshold, it also loses its effectiveness.

The bleeding of the brake fluid is done by the bleed screws behind each of your wheels. You should bleed the caliper on each wheel with the help of a second person, or simply have a professional do it. We recommend bleeding the brake oil every year or two, or every 20,000 kilometres driven. This may also vary depending on the car manufacturer, so please refer to the car's service booklet. Visit Oreca Store to change your brake fluid and opt for one of the AP Racing products. For the British brand, we offer AP Racing brake discs, kits and calipers in addition to fluids.

Our different AP Racing brake fluids

Choosing the right brake fluid can be complicated, as there are several different grades of brake fluid available on the market, also known as DOT (Department Of Transportation). These are safety standards that govern the manufacture of brake oil, which you must respect by choosing the right type of fluid. The fluid must have the same DOT as that used by the vehicle manufacturer. The DOT corresponds to the boiling temperature of the fluid.

DOT 3 fluid has the lowest boiling point and is suitable for vehicles with a conventional braking system. If you drive a vehicle with a lane departure warning system, you should choose DOT 4 fluid, while DOT 5.1 fluid is suitable for vehicles with an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

At Oreca Store, you can find all categories of AP Racing brake fluid for your car: DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1. This is a very well-known British brand on the market, specially designed for motor racing. This brake fluid is silicone-free, which greatly improves the transmission power of the car.
