Brake fluid must contain less than 2% water.

Small in size due to the compact housing.
LED color coding:
- Green: very good, no water
- Green + yellow: in good condition, less than 1% water
- Green + yellow + yellow: replacement recommended, about 2% water
- Green + yellow + yellow + red: replacement recommended, about 3% water
- Green + yellow + yellow + red + red: replace, at least 4% water
Why replace brake fluid:
- Brake fluid has the property of attracting water
- The brake fluid can become hot, which can cause the water present to boil
- That means air bubbles and as a result: loss of braking power!
- Water in brake fluid also causes corrosion (rust) in the brake system
- Corrosion has adverse effects such as jammed brake cylinders and leakage
