This DOT 4 formula is developed and tested by Polaris engineers to lubricate seals and lines, resist thermal breakdown, and reduce corrosion inside the braking system. The compact 12 oz bottle (part 2872189) makes it easy to top up the master cylinder or carry as a service spare on longer rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this brake fluid preserve brake lever feel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polaris DOT 4 fluid maintains hydraulic pressure and lever sensitivity by resisting vapor formation at higher temperatures. Fewer vapor pockets mean a firmer pedal and more consistent stopping power throughout a ride. It also conditions rubber seals to reduce swelling and sticking that can dull lever feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigher boiling point than DOT 3 for reduced vapor lock risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLubricates O-rings and rubber lines for smoother lever action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStable viscosity preserves feel across temperature swings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat protections does the formula offer for brake system parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolaris DOT 4 contains anti-corrosive additives that help limit rust and degradation inside metal components. That protection, combined with thermal stability, extends the service life of calipers, master cylinders, and lines when used as recommended.
