Understanding Brake Fluid for Your Volvo S40
The braking system is one of the most critical safety features of your Volvo S40, and the brake fluid is a vital component of this system. Brake fluid operates within the brake hydraulics, transferring the force created by your foot on the brake pedal to the brake pads and rotors, which in turn slow down your vehicle. Ensuring that your Volvo S40 is filled with the correct type and quality of brake fluid is essential for optimal braking performance.
Choosing the Right Brake Fluid for Your S40
When it comes to selecting brake fluid for your Volvo S40, it's important to adhere to the manufacturer's specifications. Brake fluid is classified by its DOT (Department of Transportation) number, which indicates the fluid's boiling point and composition. Using the incorrect type of brake fluid can lead to reduced braking efficiency or even system failure, so it is critical to use only the recommended fluid for your vehicle's braking system.
Maintaining Brake Fluid in Your Volvo
Over time, brake fluid can degrade due to moisture absorption, which lowers its boiling point and can lead to brake fade or failure. Regularly checking the brake fluid level and condition in your Volvo S40 is an integral part of vehicle maintenance. If the fluid appears dark or dirty, it may be time for a change. Always ensure that any maintenance on the brake hydraulics of your Volvo S40 is performed by a qualified technician or by following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Signs of Brake Fluid Issues
If you notice any changes in the braking performance of your Volvo S40, such as a spongy brake pedal, decreased stopping power, or a warning light on the dashboard, it could indicate an issue with the brake fluid or brake hydraulics system. It is imperative to address these signs promptly to ensure your safety and the longevity of your vehicle's braking system.

What is Brake Fluid?
Brake fluid is essential for keeping your braking system moving seamlessly. This fluid works under high temperatures and pressure, converting the force exerted into pressure to keep your brakes working to their optimum performance level. It is sold in liquid form as these are not compressible, so they will last you longer. Your brake fluid will deteriorate over time, so you must change it every 2 years to ensure your brakes are functioning effectively. We can show you how to bleed your brakes with our easy-to-follow guide.
In this range, you will find an extensive selection of hydraulic fluid, including DOT 4 brake fluid, all available in different quantities, so you can be sure your car is always running to its full potential.
