Brake Fluid - DOT4 vs DOT4+

Metallo · Post by **Metallo** » 07 Aug 2016, 10:32

Hi guys,

I just need confirmation on this... I have to change one of the brakes hoses,therefore I will have to flush the brake system.

For my 2006 XC70 the manual recommends the DOT4+ Min. boiling point 280 C (536 F)

At home, I have 1L of ATE TYP 200 Boiling Point 280 C (536 F) - Wet boiling point 198 C (388F) - I think I can use this, correct?
Since it is sold as 'raicing quality' I assume it has the same specs as a DOT4+ ?

Thank you
Alex

Use it. The bulk of fluid makers raised the boil point to that higher boil point of 4+.

Which falls to DOT 4 boiling point in about a month anyhow...
