- Revised

Language:
English
Scope
This SAE Standard covers motor vehicle brake fluids of the nonpetroleum type for use in the braking system of any motor vehicle such as a passenger car, truck, bus, or trailer. These fluids are not intended for use under arctic conditions. These fluids are designed for use in braking systems fitted with rubber cups and seals made from styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), or a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, and a diene (EPDM).
Rationale
From January 1, 2007 onwards, SAE International has discontinued the supply of referee materials (RM). Equivalent materials to the RM materials referred to in this standard are obtainable from sources other than SAE International. References to SAE International providing such RMs are removed from this standard. RM designations/numbers have been left in tact in this standard for reference purposes.

Brake Fluids Standards Committee
The scope of the Brake Fluids Standards Committee is to develop and maintain relevant standards; recommended practices and information reports related to non-petroleum based brake fluids covering: The requirements of fluids for use in the hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles; the handling, dispensing, and packaging of such fluids; service maintenance using such fluids. These documents are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that they reflect the changing needs and requirements of the industry.
Reference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
