The Textar 230 DOT 3 is a synthetic brake and clutch fluid based on Glycol ethers and Polyglycols, together with an inhibitor package. DOT 3 fluids are an older technology and in Europe have been mostly replaced by DOT 4 types although they continue to be mainstream in many parts of the world –particularly the USA and Japan. Although the most basic of the Textar brake fluid range, this product maintains the company’s usual high technical standards and provide good value for money.

It is a feature of Textar products that they are tested to standards beyond what would be normal. In this case the minimum boiling point of this product (230°C / 446°F) greatly exceeds the required DOT 3 minimum which is 205°C. Expertise gained from long experience of working with braking systems and vehicle manufacturers benefits our entire product range with products being tested to standards far above the normal.

Features and Benefits:

• Good lubricity
• High thermal stability
• Controlled rubber swelling
• Anti-corrosion and oxidation protection

Recommendations for use

• Vehicles for which a DOT 3 fluid is specified
• Older vehicles with drum brake systems
• Older classic cars with original rubber components
• Hydraulic clutch systems
