- Content
- 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. This standard covers different levels of performance properties compared to the SAE J1703 and J1705 documents on brake fluids. These fluids are not intended for use under arctic conditions or in braking systems requiring the use of mineral oil based hydraulic fluid.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).
- Content
- The source of the RM-3a has been changed. In conjunction of this change the SAE Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids Standards Committee harmonized the wording of the corrosion test between SAE J1703 and SAE J1704, i.e., some changes to the text of SAE J1704 Section 5.6.2 Corrosion Test on Brake Fluid with Water have been made.
