Prestone Synthetic Hi-Temp Brake Fluid is designed to provide an extra margin of boiling point protection. The mix of polyglycol ethers ensures hot brake-system operation will not create dangerous vapor. This delivers braking power when needed by avoiding a spongy pedal. Both wet and dry boiling points exceed the minimum government standards. A comprehensive inhibitor package protects vital brake system metals. Prestone brand Synthetic Brake Fluid is designed for safe operation of today’s modern brake systems. Excellent for ABS, disc and drum brake systems. Minimum dry boiling point: 460 degrees Fahrenheit (238 degrees Celsius). Minimum wet boiling point: 284 degrees Fahrenheit (140 degrees Celsius). Complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 116. Meets SAE J1703.

I’ve always checked the brake fluid level whenever the hood is up on my 1990 Chevy truck and that’s about all the attention it’s gotten. I recently replaced drums, rotors and pads on all wheels and the stopping didn’t improve all that much. I finally popped the cap on the reservoir and the fluid looked like diarrhea. I purchased it in 1998 and have done a lot of maintenance on it, including a new engine last summer, but I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve pretty much ignored the brake fluid. I purchased a Lisle 19200 Brake Bleeding Kit and a few quarts of synthetic Dot-3 brake fluid (enough to do my 1999 Expedition) and started the bleeding process one wheel at a time until all I saw was clear fluid. It was a day job because those 17-year old fittings needed some coaxing and replacing. I needed a backup quart so I purchased one at the auto parts store for 5-bucks but I made that 40-mile drive for other things but you can’t beat the convenience of ordering here while your vehicle is disabled and waiting for a part… or more fluid.

I was a brake and front end mechanic for a number of years. I’ve always use DOT 3 fluid on most applications. I realize DOT 4 had a much higher boiling point, but I’ve never had a boil over problem or brake failure as a consequence.I feel if your fluid is getting that hot, you are either over working your brakes, they are insufficient or becoming defective. I have seen where fluid has spewed from a weep hole in the reservoir, which actually served as a braking system indication of a problem. I suppose you could just up it to DOT 4, or see what’s cooking.

I really like using this product. The reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cap was off when i received the item and the cap was crushed inside of the box , it still had the foil seal on it but I have no way of resealing it when I use some of it. I just wanted to get a new cap but there is no info on Amazon to request a new cap except for returning the entire product and I need to use it now or else I would have returned it for a new one.

Not much to say other than it’s the same prestone Dot 3 fluid you already know. I am taking a star off because last time I ordered this product from amazon the plastic cap of one bottle was broken off however the foil seal still stayed attached so no harm no foul.

This is DOT 3 and for those of you that may be wondering ***all dot 3 brake fluid is synthetic*** so yes it works fine with what you have. I used mine in a newer truck and a classic car. Prestone is my favorite because it stays cleaner longer in my usage. I have used other brands that cause components to fail sooner so whatever these guys are making they are doing it right.

Got this for my 2013 Honda Accord. Service manual tells you to specifically use Honda brake fluid (3x times more expensive) which is a croc. Everyone knows brake fluid is brake fluid. All manufacturers have to follow DOT rated requirements. Myself nor anyone I know has ever had any problems with Prestone. It’s cheap and gets the job done. Good packaging. No damage or leaks.

Came earlier than expected. Used it for a brake flush on a 92 Chevy cavalier.

it is brake fluid at a good price but amazon has given into crazy environmentalist so they use no packing materials so you never know if any liquid will make it intact to you half the oil or liquids get damaged in transit the send it all the way to your city then say its undeliverable and send it back so the shipper can get paid but now you have to reorder it so its ok if you want to keep some on hand but don’t hold your breath waiting for a delivery
