Motul Dot 4 LV Brake Fluid 500ml

Motul DOT 4 LV Brake Fluid 500ml – Low Viscosity Brake & Clutch Fluid

Motul DOT 4 LV Brake Fluid is a high-performance, low-viscosity hydraulic fluid designed especially for modern vehicles equipped with advanced electronic braking and stability systems.

Recommended for hydraulic brake and clutch systems featuring ABS, ESP and ASR, Motul DOT 4 LV combines a high boiling point with outstanding low-temperature performance to help maintain fast and precise hydraulic response in demanding modern braking systems.

Supplied in a convenient 500ml bottle, it is ideal for brake fluid replacement, maintenance and servicing where a low-viscosity DOT 4 fluid is specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Why Choose Motul DOT 4 LV?

Modern braking systems rely on extremely fast movement of brake fluid through small hydraulic passages and electronically controlled valves.

Motul DOT 4 LV has been specifically developed with low viscosity to support the rapid operation required by systems such as:

• ABS – Anti-lock Braking System
• ESP – Electronic Stability Program
• ASR – Acceleration Slip Regulation

Its combination of low-temperature fluidity and high-temperature performance makes it particularly suitable for modern vehicles with sophisticated electronic brake control systems.

Low-Viscosity Brake Fluid

The LV in Motul DOT 4 LV stands for Low Viscosity.

Brake fluid viscosity is particularly important in modern electronically controlled braking systems.

ABS and stability-control systems contain hydraulic valves and pumps that may need to react extremely quickly when correcting wheel lock, loss of traction or vehicle instability.

A low-viscosity brake fluid can flow more easily through these components, particularly in cold conditions.

This helps the hydraulic system respond as intended across a wide range of operating temperatures.

Designed for ABS Braking Systems

ABS continuously monitors wheel speed and can rapidly adjust hydraulic brake pressure to help prevent individual wheels from locking during heavy braking.

This requires brake fluid to move quickly through the hydraulic control unit.

Motul DOT 4 LV is specifically recommended for vehicles fitted with ABS, making it an appropriate choice where the manufacturer specifies a low-viscosity DOT 4 fluid.

Suitable for ESP Systems

Electronic Stability Program systems can independently apply braking force to individual wheels to help maintain vehicle stability.

Because these interventions can happen extremely quickly, the performance and viscosity of the hydraulic fluid can influence how effectively the system operates.

Motul DOT 4 LV has been developed with these electronically controlled braking systems in mind.

ASR Compatibility

Motul DOT 4 LV is also recommended for vehicles equipped with ASR or similar traction-control systems.

These systems may use the braking system to control individual wheel slip during acceleration.

A suitable low-viscosity hydraulic fluid supports the rapid pressure changes required by these systems.

Outstanding Low-Temperature Performance

One of the main benefits of DOT 4 LV fluid is its performance at very low temperatures.

Conventional brake fluids can become more viscous as temperature falls.

For vehicles equipped with advanced ABS and stability-control systems, maintaining good fluidity in cold conditions helps the hydraulic system respond quickly.

Motul DOT 4 LV is therefore particularly suitable for modern vehicles that require consistent braking-system operation across a broad temperature range.

High Boiling Point

While low-temperature performance is an important characteristic of DOT 4 LV, the fluid must also cope with the significant heat generated by the braking system.

Motul DOT 4 LV combines its low-viscosity characteristics with a high boiling point to provide dependable performance as brake temperatures increase.

This makes it suitable for demanding road use while still delivering the fluidity required by modern electronic braking systems.

Brake & Clutch System Use

Motul DOT 4 LV can be used in compatible hydraulic:

• Brake systems
• Clutch systems

Always check the vehicle manufacturer's specification before use to ensure that a low-viscosity DOT 4 brake fluid is suitable for your application.

Why Brake Fluid Condition Matters

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it gradually absorbs moisture from the atmosphere.

Over time, this can reduce its boiling point and compromise braking performance.

Regular brake fluid replacement helps maintain:

• Consistent hydraulic pressure
• Reliable pedal feel
• Brake system performance
• High-temperature resistance
• Correct operation of electronic braking systems

For vehicles with sophisticated ABS and stability systems, using the correct specification of brake fluid is particularly important.

DOT 4 LV vs Standard DOT 4 Brake Fluid

Both conventional DOT 4 and DOT 4 LV fluids are designed for hydraulic braking systems, but low-viscosity formulations are specifically developed to provide improved fluidity at low temperatures.

This is especially important in modern vehicles with fast-acting electronically controlled brake systems.

A standard DOT 4 fluid may be perfectly suitable for vehicles designed around it, while DOT 4 LV is better suited to applications where the manufacturer specifically requires a low-viscosity brake fluid.

Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's specified brake fluid requirement rather than choosing solely on DOT classification.

Road & Performance Use

Motul DOT 4 LV is particularly suitable for:

• Modern road cars
• Performance road cars
• ABS-equipped vehicles
• Vehicles with electronic stability control
• Vehicles with traction-control braking functions
• Routine brake fluid servicing
• Hydraulic clutch servicing where compatible

For dedicated track and motorsport applications where extreme brake temperatures are expected, a specialist high-temperature racing brake fluid may be more appropriate depending on vehicle requirements.

500ml Bottle

Motul DOT 4 LV is supplied in a 500ml container.

The amount required for a complete brake-fluid change varies according to vehicle and braking-system configuration.

For a complete system flush, more than one bottle may be required.

Important Information

Always check the manufacturer's specified brake fluid requirement before use.

Brake fluid is safety critical and should be handled carefully.

Avoid contamination with:

• Water
• Oil
• Dirt
• Incompatible hydraulic fluids

Once opened, keep the container tightly sealed as brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere.

Professional brake fluid replacement is recommended if you are unfamiliar with bleeding hydraulic brake systems.
