High-quality car brake fluid tester can detect whether the brake fluid needs to be replaced. Compared with the brake fluid test pen, this digital brake fluid tester can clearly display the test results under strong or low light conditions. The outer shell of the automotive brake fluid tester is made of ABS material, which is moisture-proof and impact-resistant, the body is lightweight and can be easily operated with one hand.
High-Sensitivity Quick-Response Probe Ensures Accurate and Stable Detection
High-Resolution Backlit Screen for Clear Readings Day or Night
SISCO brake fluid tester is widely used in automotive workshops, inspection stations, fleet maintenance, and by car owners for routine vehicle care. It quickly detects moisture content or boiling point changes in brake fluid, helping ensure reliable braking performance and compliance with DOT standards (DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1). This makes it an essential tool for mechanics, inspectors, and drivers to maintain safety and prevent brake failure.

Q1: What is a brake fluid tester?
A1: A brake fluid tester is a tool used to check the condition of brake fluid in a vehicle. It measures factors like water content or boiling point, since moisture in brake fluid lowers its effectiveness and can lead to brake failure. By providing a quick pass/fail or percentage reading, it helps determine whether the brake fluid is safe to use or needs to be replaced.
Q2: What types of brake fluid can a brake fluid tester test?
A2: Most brake fluid testers are designed to test glycol-based fluids, including DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1. These are the most common types used in passenger cars and light trucks. They are not suitable for DOT 5 silicone-based brake fluid, which requires different testing methods.
Q3: How does a brake fluid tester work?
A3: A common brake fluid tester works by submerging its electrodes into the brake fluid, then measuring the electrical conductivity of the fluid. Because brake fluid naturally absorbs water over time, this water increases its conductivity. The tester uses a traffic light system of LEDs to indicate the percentage of water content and the overall condition of the fluid, with green meaning no water and red indicating a high level of moisture that requires a brake fluid flush.
Tips: Why should I use a tester pen instead of test strips?
You should use a brake fluid tester pen instead of test strips because it offers greater accuracy, convenience, and long-term value. Test strips are single-use, meaning you need to buy new ones each time you want to check your brake fluid, and their results can sometimes be difficult to interpret due to subtle color changes. In contrast, a tester pen is fully reusable, allowing you to perform unlimited tests on multiple vehicles without additional cost.
The tester pen also provides faster and clearer results. With the press of a button, the built-in sensors immediately measure the water content in the brake fluid and display the outcome using LED indicators or a digital screen. This eliminates the guesswork involved in comparing strip colors under different lighting conditions.
