For safety and performance

Available from ZF in Oceania is the TRW brake fluid range.
The range caters for a wide range of vehicles, including those with drum brakes through to high performance vehicles.
This includes vehicles equipped with technologies such as Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), Electronic Stability Programs (ESP), Electronic Stability Controls (ESC) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).
Driven by safety, ZF says all TRW brake fluids are tested to the extreme and exceed international DOT specifications.
It states this means that all TRW brake fluids “deliver higher performance in safety critical areas including boiling points and viscosity performance, as well as offering better anti-corrosion and rubber performance.”
ZF further explains the range incorporates “the latest technology to make vehicles safer, with a blend of advanced lubricants, stabilisers, anti-oxidants and corrosion inhibitors to help minimise wear and maximise performance.”
