RAVENOL DOT 4 LV is a very high specification Brake and Clutch Fluid which conforms to and exceeds the latest ISO 4925 Class 6 standard. The specific formulation meets current international specifications US FMVSS 116 DOT 3, DOT 4, SAE J 1703, SAE J 1704 and ISO 4925 (Classes 3 & 4). With its exceptional Low Viscosity performance even at extremely low temperatures (max. 750 cSt @ -40°C) RAVENOL DOT 4 LV is especially recommended for use in the hydraulic brake and clutch systems of vehicles fitted with ESP / ASR (Electronic Stability Program) systems.
RAVENOL DOT 4 LV mixes safely with other brake and clutch fluids that meet the above specifications.
Application Notes
RAVENOL DOT 4 LV brake fluid can be used in all vehicles where ISO 4925 Class 6 specification is required.
RAVENOL DOT 4 LV is also recommended for use in the hydraulic brake and clutch systems of all cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles for which a non-petroleum based fluid of this type is specified and is miscible with all known brake fluids of the same specification..
To fully utilise the high performance level of RAVENOL DOT 4 LV, a complete change of the brake fluid is recommended.
RAVENOL DOT 4 LV is not suitable for vehicles with mineral oil systems (e.g. certain Citroën models).
FOLLOW VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN ADDING BRAKE FLUID !
KEEP BRAKE FLUID CLEAN AND DRY. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum products or other materials may result in brake failure or costly repairs. STORE BRAKE FLUID ONLY IN ITS ORIGINAL CONTAINER. KEEP CONTAINER CLEAN AND TIGHTLY CLOSED TO PREVENT ADSORPTION OF WATER. CAUTION! DO NOT REFILL CONTAINER AND DO NOT USE FOR OTHER LIQUIDS. Dispose of used brake fluid responsibly (EU waste code 160113)
Brake fluid damages paint work – if spilt wash off immediately with plenty of water.

Please bear in mind that these drivers often have a hundred or more deliveries to make in one day!
NB. We cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery caused by the Courier.
If the customer requests delivery to be left in a 'safe place' we cannot be held responsible for loss.
