DOT 4 LV Low Viscosity Brake Fluid, 5-Liter

The Pentosin DOT 4 LV brake fluid is engineered to meet the highest performance standards for modern braking systems, particularly those with ABS and DSC. Its exceptionally low viscosity at cold temperatures ensures rapid fluid flow through the intricate channels of these systems, preventing delayed response and potential brake pedal softness during panic stops, especially in colder climates. This high-performance fluid boasts a dry boiling point of 265°C (509°F) and a wet boiling point of 170°C (338°F), exceeding the typical DOT 4 specifications and even surpassing the wet boiling point of DOT 5 fluid. This formulation is crucial for maintaining the integrity and responsiveness of braking systems, especially when the car is subjected to rigorous use or ambient temperature fluctuations. Pentosin, a trusted OEM supplier to BMW for various fluids and chemicals, formulates this DOT 4 LV brake fluid. It is essential to use the correct viscosity fluid for your vehicle; Low Viscosity (LV) fluid is required for models with DSC (identified by a "DSC" button), while Normal Viscosity (NV) fluid is suitable for models without DSC or with ASC+T. For dedicated track use, a Normal Viscosity fluid may be acceptable, as brake fluid thinning at high temperatures makes the viscosity difference less pronounced. However, for mixed street-track or primarily road use, adhering to the factory-specified viscosity is paramount for safety and optimal ABS/DSC function. This offering comes in a convenient 5-liter container, providing sufficient volume for a complete brake system flush and refill. For any questions regarding fluid compatibility for your specific BMW model, consulting with a specialist is recommended.
