Brake Fluid and Lubrication
Cars, trucks, motorcycles and even bicycles use hydraulic braking. Brake fluid is used to transfer the force applied into hydraulic pressure. In contrast, lubricants enable parts to move opposite each other in a perpendicular manner.

Not really an answer, but another question... did you bleed the brakes after you changed them? I remember that is a critical step, NOT to be missed when working on the brakes. Hope this helps.
Brake pedal is soft but no leaking fluid what could it be?
Could be the master cylinder is bypassing.
No damage done. DOT 4 meets or exceeds the qualities of DOT 3 and has a lower deterioration rate
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.
Where is the brake fluid cylinder on Mitsubishi l300?
Far right side of the dash board next to wind screen piller. lift up dash cover.
What type of brake fluid do you use in buick?
DOT 3 from an unopened can. If you look on the cap for the master cylinder reservoir you will see the correct fluid listed. If you are having to add fluid then you have a leak or the brake pads are worn. Might want to inspect your system and check to see if you need new pads. Brake fluid should be changed at least every 50,000 miles.
Why brake fluid should be changed?
the average boiling point of the brake fluid has dropped to a potentially dangerous level because of moisture contamination and may not meet minimum federal requirements for brake fluid.
Where does the brake fluid go in a 1989 Honda Accord?
It goes in the master brake cylinder reservoir. The cap of the reservoir says to use only Dot3 brake fluid. This cylinder is accessible on the driver's side of the car when you open the hood of the car. Do not confuse it with the power steering reservoir which is also on the driver's side. The power steering reservoir is the one closest to the front of the car and the cap on it also tells you to use only Honda power steering fluid.
Are brake fluids and power steering fluids the same?
NO !! POWER STEERING FLUID IS SIMILAR TO TRANSMISSION FLUID...
BRAKE FUILD IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE
Where do you add brake fluid in a 1989 Chev Silverado?
in the master when you open the hood its off to you r right way at the back white with a black rectangular top
What does the warning light on your fiat punto mean that looks like a brake fluid bottle?
This warning light means that you need to add brake fluid to your car. Improper fluid levels can cause brake malfunction resulting in an accident.
If a vacuum servo is fitted, then with the engine off, totally deplete the stored vacuum by repeatedly applying the service brake. Fully apply the brake and hold at a constant pressure. Note whether the pedal can be felt to travel further when the engine is started.
What is the Difference between a brake cylinder leak and an axle seal leak?
It all depends on what part is leaking what fluid. Brake cylinder would leak brake fluid. Axle seal would leak gear oil.
MY brake fluid light came on does that mean there is a problem with your braking system?
no and maybe it not connected to your car motor and it motor.
What type of brake fluid should be used for a 2002 ford sport track?
DOT 3 ( Department Of Transportation 3 )
Where do you put the brake fluid in at on a 1993 Chevy Cheyenne 1500?
If you open the hood and stand on the driver's side, there should be a black rectangular lid in plain view. On the side of the clear plastic it should have a fill gauge that looks like an aspirin, sort of oval shaped I guess. Pop that lid off and fill her up.
