Guangdong automotive lubricants, brake fluid inspection pass rate of 93%

The reporter learned from the Guangzhou Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce on the 4th that the bureau recently conducted spot inspections of automobile lubricants and brake fluids sold by various business operators in Guangzhou, such as auto sales shops, repair shops, and auto parts stores. The results showed that among the 58 batches of samples, 4 batches failed and the overall qualification rate was 93%.

According to reports, a total of 58 batches of samples were sampled from 41 distributors, of which 43 batches of lubricants were sampled. Spot checks were carried out on some items required by the mandatory standards for automotive lubricants and brake fluids. Among them, the main unqualified items for automotive lubricants are foam, low-temperature dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, flash point (opening), viscosity index and other five items; the main unqualified item of automotive brake fluid is evaporation performance. 40 batches passed the test, 3 batches failed, and the pass rate was 93%; 15 batches of brake fluid were sampled, 14 batches were qualified, and 1 batch was unqualified, and the pass rate was 93.33%.

It is reported that in the sampling inspection, the Ganghui Automobile Service Center in Xintang Town, Zengcheng City, and the RM Auto Parts Trading Company in Zengcheng Xintang Township were found to be selling lubricants for counterfeit “Mobil 1” vehicles. The company has taken a serious approach and sifted through relevant purchase channels to dig deeper into counterfeit products.

How to use brake fluid correctly: The brake system of the car, because the average speed of the car increases, the load increases, so that the brake fluid should withstand higher temperatures. This requires that the brake fluid has a higher boiling point, otherwise the brake may malfunction due to vaporization of the brake fluid. If the brake fluid is too viscous or too low at high temperatures, it can cause poor transmission or brake failure.

This requires a suitable high and low temperature viscosity of the brake fluid, good lubrication. In addition, the brake fluid also requires excellent compatibility with rubber seals, etc., otherwise it will cause problems in the brake system and cause accidents. When we choose the brake fluid, we must choose the brake fluid with the above-mentioned excellent performance. At the same time, we must choose the brake fluid production license manufacturers to produce products, so that the quality will be guaranteed.
