BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Brake oil replacement instructions

The brake fluid or brake fluid, erroneously defined as brake oil, is the fundamental element for hydraulic braking systems, which allows the braking system to be activated without this fluid compressing, boiling, corroding the braking system or leads to the formation of rust in the system. It is necessary to replace the fluid if it absorbs too much humidity and risks corroding the braking system. A technique for renewing the fluid consists in emptying the circuit by means of a vacuum, or by applying a depressor for hydraulic circuits or by means of a syringe, in fact by applying this system to the bleed screw (open) it is possible to remove the brake fluid and speed up its filling. . If you do not have this tool, you can bring the fluid level in the reservoir to a minimum by bleeding the caliper by continuing to pump the brake pedal and fill with new fluid until only the new fluid comes out.
