User questions & answers

Question:	Should be tasted when fluid is after driving or car has to stay over night? Bc I tried both methods and got completely different results
Answer:	I didn't test after driving the car- maybe after 3-4 hours after driving it, but I don't know if that matters. I did use the tester in a clean cup of water to ensure that it would light up (red?) with Water & it didn't light up red when I tested my brake fluid (maybe yellow?), so I assume that it is working. Sorry, it has been a few months since I last used it.
Question:	My sonata has a plastic strainer at top. how can i get the probes past that? how to remove strainer
Answer:	I don't have a Hyundai, but my Nissan has the strainer, and it is removable. Maybe try and see if yours is removable. I just stuck my finger in and applied outward pressure to the wall and it eventually lifted out. Hope it helps. The device definitely works though.
Question:	Will this work with 5.1 brake fluid
Answer:	Thanks for asking. The ITEQ Brake Fluid Tester works with DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluids but not with DOT 5 Brake Fluid. The main difference between DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluids is in their boiling points. DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids which are used widely in the automotive and cycle industry. They are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. But please never mistake with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid. Hope these information can be help with you.
Question:	Why it says here also for dot 3 and package says for dot
Answer:	Hi, the tester works for both dot 3 and dot 4 brake fluid. And the dot 4 liquid is more widely applied because it has better performance than dot 3 liquid. The package will be changed.

Product description

Staying safe and knowing that your car is in top condition is most important. Ideally, brake fluid should be checked regularly and changed every one to two years. As moisture seeps into the brake system through the brake hoses and seals the brake fluid will become contaminated and the danger of brake failure will increase. This pen-shaped brake fluid tester can easily help determine whether it's time for you to change your brake fluid. What to do: 1. Turn on the brake fluid tester by pressing the button. A green light should light up. If the light does not come on, it may be time to change a battery. 2. Unscrew the lid for the brake fluid reservoir, and take off the cap for the brake fluid tester. 3. Dip the test probes into the brake fluid and the LED lights will indicate the percentage of water in the brake fluid. 4. After testing, remember to screw the lid of the brake fluid reservoir back on tightly. 5. The tester will automatically power off after 12 seconds of inactivity. The LED lights will indicate the percentage of water in the brake fluid: Green: None Green/Yellow: Less than 1% Green /Yellow/Yellow: Approx. 2% Green/Yellow/Yellow/Red: Approx. 3% (Time to change brake fluid.) Green/Yellow/Yellow/Red/Red: Approx. 4% (Change brake fluid immediately). Please note:- This brake fluid tester is calibrated for DOT 4 brake fluid only, which is used in most cars produced since 2006. - Replace the battery if the green LED light no longer lights up after you press the button. - Wash the test probe with tap water after every use. - In case of skin contact with brake fluid, thoroughly wash the affected skin or clothing with water. - Do not expose brake fluid to the atmosphere for a long time as it is highly hygroscopic.

• Quick and easy way to test for moisture content in the brake fluid; results appear in seconds!
• LED light indicators show percentage of water in the brake fluid
• Calibrated for cars using DOT 4 brake fluid only (found in most cars produced since 2006)
• Takes 1 x AAA/1.5V battery (included)
• Only takes seconds to know the results

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does packaging and description indicate this product only works with dot4 if consumers are saying it works on dot3? does it really work on dot
Answer:	This product did not work for me. Tested it on newly bought DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluid and the device said they were old
Question:	How much the probes must be in the brake fluid? I found that variation will change the reading
Answer:	I received my tester yesterday and I too have different readings depending on how deep I place the probes. follow the instructions, I have 4%, just the tips I have 1%. Is the readings false because I use Amsoil brake fluid?
Question:	Can this also be used for transmission and power steering fluids
Answer:	No, this tester is to find the amount of water in brake fluid. Most brake fluids are alcohol based, transmission fluid is oil-based.
Question:	I use Valvoline Dot 3 and 4 brake fluid. It's both Dot 3 and 4. Will this tester work with that fluid
Answer:	Upon further review I note that this tester only works for DOT 4 brake fluid. As of model year 2017 Toyota and Honda are using Dot3. My comments don't change except for excluding Toyota and Honda and that both have sophisticated on board computers that monitor all the systems-which are considerable in the Hybrids.

What is Brake Fluid? Why Need to Check and Change the Brake Fluid?

• Brake Fluid, also known as hydraulic fluid, is responsible for moving the various components of your vehicle’s braking system. Brake fluid is a non-compressible substance that lies within the brake lines, delivering the force created by your push on the brake pedal to each of the brake rotors on the four corners of your vehicle. This applies pressure to the wheels and ultimately slows or stops your movement. The fluid operates under high temperatures and high pressure and, without it, your car or truck would not be able to stop when you push the brake pedal inside your vehicle.

• Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air, which will cause the fluid to degrade and not work properly. This is why it is important to periodically check the oil fluid and drain it out and replace it with new fluid to ensure proper brake fluid function. That's also why we recommend this Brake Oil Detection Pen to you.

• Regular inspection, replace oil fluid when the red light of the tester is on.
