Title: Did you buy enough brake fluid?
Post by: BrendanP on April 13, 2024, 19:36:37

I ordered a litre of Mannol brake fluid from an online seller recently to renew my brake fluid. On delivery, I noticed it was 2 small bottles which I naturally assumed to be 0.5 litre each. When I finally got around to doing the job, I noticed on closer inspection that they were 16 oz, 454g. It seems bizarre to sell a liquid by weight, not volume. After I finished I had drained 0.85 litre of old fluid and having emptied both bottles the level in the reservoir was below where it was when I started, so I don't think they contained any more than 0.8 litre.

Moral of the story is to check how big the bottle is before you buy.
