Stay safe and know 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.
Developed for professional use in automotive repair shops and servicing. Brake fluid detection pen is based on the change in conductivity to determine the moisture change brake fluid. It shows clearly the extent of moisture contained by the light-emitting diode. The high moisture content will lead to a lower boiling point, affect braking performance.

    Using a tester like this is NOT the correct way to test brake fluid. These are dubious at best, only proper way is by testing the boiling point. http://www.penriteoil.com.au/tech_pdfs/207%20-%20Brake%20Flu…

    If you're unsure of the condition of the brake fluid in your car and don't want to/don't know how to change it then just take it to a mechanic.

  • "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 is true but 1-2yrs is over board, once every 4 years is fine.

    As for the tester, your better off not wasting money on it and just changing the fluid if uncertain. Providing you can do it yourself

    • You're supposed to change brake fluid yearly.
