“ATE brake fluid SL 5 ltr.” “Ergonomic design.” “High quality.” “ATE brake fluid SL 5 ltr.”
The first and the fourth are the same sentence. Of the remaining two, one is a claim about the container.
The rows this seller leaves empty
FMVSS 116. ISO 4925 and its class. SAE J 1703 / J 1704. The wet and dry boiling points.
Three other fluids in this family publish at least two standards each; one of them publishes a boiling point in degrees. This listing publishes the DOT grade in its title and nothing anywhere else.
Why boiling point is the specification of a brake fluid
Brake fluid is a hydraulic column. Liquids do not compress and gases do — so when fluid at the caliper boils, the lever comes back to the bar and the brake is gone. It happens on a long descent, under repeated braking, which is exactly where it is least survivable.
The dry boiling point is the fresh figure. The wet figure is what it falls to once the fluid has absorbed moisture from the air, which every glycol-based fluid does, which is why it is changed on a schedule rather than when it looks dirty.
Those two numbers are the whole reason one fluid costs more than another. This listing gives neither.
