FAQ for Brake Master Cylinder Bleeder Tool Repair
Q: How can I differentiate the type of fluid that has contaminated the brake fluid?
A:
When the fluid has a swirled appearance this means an oil-based substance is the brake fluid. If the oil has a layered appearance then a silicone-based substance is in the brake fluid. Dark appearance/suspended particles mean fluid dirt, rust, corrosion, and brake dust.
