Many leading international car manufacturers, including Ferrari, trust Shell Chemicals brake fluids and use them for their brake systems' original fill. To ensure peak performance throughout the lifetime of a vehicle, Shell also supplies consistently high quality brake fluid to the automotive industry’s service sector.
The average car or light commercial vehicle contains about one litre of brake fluid in its braking system. Under often demanding conditions, the fluid must instantly and accurately translate the pressure of the driver's foot on the brake pedal into pure stopping power.
The brake and clutch fluids range incorporates products that meet the most demanding specifications, needed to meet essential stability systems requirements.
DOT 3 (DONAX B) – a high performance DOT 3
DOT 4 (DONAX YB) – a premium DOT 4
DOT 4 ESL – a high performance, low viscosity brake and clutch fluid ideal for ABS, electronic stability and traction control systems
DOT 4 Super NV (DONAX SB) – a super high performance DOT 4 fluid with a high boiling point
DOT 5.1 (DONAX ZB) –a high performing DOT 5.1, providing low viscosity at cold temperatures
