What else can I help you with?
What are the three types of brakesfluid used in automobiles today?
DOT 3,4,5 3 and 4 are glycol based with a lower boiling point DOT 5 is silicone based with a higher boiling point
What break fluid do i use in 2003 Santa Fe?
You can use DOT 3 or 4. DOT 4 gives you a higher boiling point.
What brake fluid for my 1997 Toyota corolla?
DOT 3 or DOT 4. DOT 3 is standard for Japanese cars; DOT 4 has higher boiling point but stops the car the same way as DOT 3, so it's a better fluid.
What kind of brake fluid for 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt?
DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than the similar glycol-based DOT 3 fluid, but for a daily driver vehicle such as the cobalt, DOT 3 will suffice. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT MIX DOT 3 WITH DOT 4.
Is it OK to use DOT 4 fluid when manufacturer recommends DOT 3?
You can use DOT 4 in place of DOT 3 but don't use DOT 3 in place of DOT 4. DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3. DOT 4 is in there for a reason.
Is DOT 4 brake fluid better than DOT 3?
Yes. DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3, and it is less hygroscopic (less affinity for moisture). Beware of DOT 5, however, because it is not compatible with other brake fluids.
What brake fluid should you use on a 2001 sebring?
DOT 3 or DOT 4 it doesn't actually matter if it has DOT 3 in you can us DOT 4 what ever the case if you can use the next one or two up the only difference is when you get to DOT 4 or 5 is a higher boiling point
What should you do if you used dot 3 instead of dot 4?
At the earliest convenous you should bleed out the dot 3 and change it out with dot 4. More than likely the dot 3 will be fine but the difference is the dot 4 has a higher boiling point for extreme conditions. So while the dot 3 is in the system no racing or towing and the system will be just fine. If you boil the dot3 fluid in your system the brakes will become very soft or squishy.
Why does pentanal have a higher boiling point than 3-methylbutanal?
Pentanal has a higher boiling point than 3-methylbutanal because pentanal has a longer carbon chain, resulting in stronger van der Waals forces between its molecules. This leads to increased intermolecular interactions and hence a higher boiling point compared to the shorter 3-methylbutanal molecule.
What happen if you use dot 4 instead of dot 3 brake fluid on 98 civic?
Dot 4 has a higher boiling temperature than dot 3 therefore dot 4 will make the car stop faster than dot 3. Dot 4 is used for racing purposes mainly, but it can also be beneficial when making an emergency hard stop.
What is the boiling point of 2 cups of water with 3 tablespoons of table salt in it?
Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the solution. The exact boiling point will depend on the concentration of salt in the water, but for a rough estimate, adding 3 tablespoons of salt to 2 cups of water will increase the boiling point by a few degrees Celsius. So, the boiling point will be higher than 100 degrees Celsius.
What kind of brake fluid does a 1995 Geo Prizm take?
A Geo Prizm requires regular DOT 3 brake fluid. Brake fluids labeled DOT 4, or "exceeds DOT 3 and DOT 4 specs" (such as Castrol GT/LMA) are also acceptable; these DOT 4 fluids have higher wet boiling points.
