Why is my brake fluid green?

Posted on 3/15/2021



Your brake fluid will become green when it is contaminated with moisture from the air. The moisture content of your brake fluid should not be above 3%. It needs to be serviced any time it is above 3%. This green color is from algae that grows in the brake fluid from the moisture. This moisture is damaging to your braking components. Give us a call and let us take care of you.


Happy Adventures,
