Collection: Goodridge Brake Fluid – DOT‑Rated Hydraulic Brake & Clutch Fluid
Keep your braking system performing safely and reliably with Goodridge Brake Fluid, engineered for street, track, and high‑performance use. Goodridge offers high‑quality DOT‑rated brake fluids (glycol‑based) that meet standard safety specifications for modern hydraulic brake and clutch systems. These fluids deliver high boiling points to resist vapor lock under heavy braking, protect internal components from corrosion, and maintain consistent pedal feel. Goodridge brake fluid is ideal for daily drivers, performance builds, track cars, or any vehicle that demands dependable braking under stress.
Why Brake Fluid Type Matters
- Brake fluid transfers braking force from your pedal to the calipers — without fluid, the system cannot generate stopping power.
- Most modern cars use glycol-based brake fluid (e.g., DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1). These fluids are hygroscopic — they absorb moisture over time, which lowers boiling point and can lead to vapor formation and brake fade under heavy use.
- For performance or racing applications, a high‑boiling-point fluid like Goodridge’s racing‑grade DOT 4 greatly reduces the chance of vapor lock when brakes get hot, ensuring consistent braking under extreme conditions.
Because brake fluid degrades over time (with moisture absorption and heat cycles), routine fluid replacement or system flushes are recommended — especially for performance vehicles, track cars, or boosted/turbo builds.
