Brake fluid DOT4 402402 Valeo 0,5l

Brake Fluid DOT4 402402 Valeo 0.5 L

The Valeo Brake Fluid DOT4 402402 is a high‑performance, fully synthetic fluid designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern braking systems. Packaged in a convenient 500 ml bottle, it delivers reliable performance for vehicles equipped with ABS and ESP systems.

Key Technical Specifications

• DOT Classification: DOT 4 – the standard for most passenger cars and light trucks that require high boiling points and excellent anti‑corrosion properties.
• Chemical Composition: Synthetic – engineered to provide superior thermal stability, low viscosity, and resistance to oxidation compared with conventional mineral oils.
• Boiling Point (Dry): 260 °C – ensures the fluid can withstand high temperatures during heavy braking or emergency stops.
• Boiling Point (Wet): 155 °C – meets the wet boiling requirement for DOT 4, guaranteeing safe operation in real‑world conditions where brake fluid is exposed to moisture.
• Viscosity: 1.5–2.0 cSt at 40 °C – low enough to allow quick circulation through the hydraulic system while maintaining adequate film strength.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with ABS, ESP, and other electronic brake‑control systems found in modern vehicles.

Packaging & Storage

The fluid comes in a 500 ml plastic bottle, sealed to prevent contamination. The bottle is labeled with the Valeo product code 402402 and includes safety information, DOT classification, and recommended usage guidelines.

Applications & Vehicle Compatibility

The Valeo 402402 Brake Fluid is engineered for a wide range of vehicles. While the product itself does not specify individual models in this article, it is designed to be compatible with:

• Passenger cars equipped with ABS/ESP systems.
• Light commercial vehicles that require DOT 4 performance.
• Motorcycles and scooters where high‑temperature resistance is critical.

Because the fluid meets the stringent DOT 4 standard, it can be safely used in any vehicle that requires this specification, ensuring optimal braking performance and system longevity.

Performance Benefits

• High Thermal Stability: The synthetic base prevents boiling under extreme heat, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged use.
• Corrosion Resistance: Protects metal components in the hydraulic system from rust and degradation.
• Low Viscosity: Allows rapid fluid flow, improving response time for braking inputs.
• Long Shelf Life: Properly stored, the fluid retains its properties for several years, minimizing the need for frequent replacement.

Maintenance & Replacement Guidelines

For optimal safety and performance, follow these general guidelines when replacing brake fluid:

1. Check Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Always consult your vehicle’s owner manual or service guide for the correct DOT specification.
2. Flush System if Needed: If the fluid is old or contaminated, flush the entire hydraulic system before refilling to avoid contamination of seals and components.
3. Use a Clean Container: Transfer the new fluid into a clean, dry container to prevent moisture ingress.
4. Bleed Brakes Properly: After filling, bleed the brake lines according to the vehicle’s procedure to eliminate air pockets.

Safety Precautions

• Handle with gloves and eye protection; avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Avoid ingestion; keep out of reach of children and pets.
• If accidental exposure occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if necessary.
