Prestone Warns Motorists of Possible Car Trouble This Summer
Prestone, the leading manufacturer of coolants and brake fluids in the Philippines is cautioning motorists that the scorching temperatures experienced by the country can lead to unwanted breakdowns.
The company says that brake fluids are susceptible to heat leading it to absorb water the brake fluid’s archnemesis. Prestone explains that when brake fluids absorb water, it can decrease their boiling point, and heighten the risk of a spongy feeling in the pedal or complete brake failure. This is especially true, they say, to vehicles equipped with Anti-lock Braking Systems or ABS.
