Normal and Expert Modes
Choose a standard fluid type, or switch to expert mode for more targeted selection by DOT4 brand.
-
Reservoir-Reach Probe
The gooseneck probe bends into the reservoir; its stainless steel outer layer resists oil, oxidation and corrosion.

Good to Know
Caution
- For brake fluid only; it is not an engine oil, transmission fluid or power steering fluid tester.
- Batteries may not be included; confirm with your package before ordering.
Care
- The reading is a moisture screening, not a standardized wet boiling-point result; apply it with the vehicle’s service criteria.
- For routine maintenance, checking brake fluid around every 40,000 km is suggested, depending on vehicle condition.
- Wipe the probe clean after use and leave no fluid residue on it.
- For long storage, remove all batteries and keep the tester dry at room temperature.
