For all vehicles with a classic hydraulic circuit, Bosch is launching 2 new generations of brake fluid to meet the needs of new braking systems: ENV4 and ENV6. The ABS and EPS systems of today and tomorrow are faster and more precise. ESP reaction time is an aspect of braking safety. These latest braking systems with ESP require low viscosity, high boiling point and high lubrication. System lubrication is a new requirement for brake fluids to maximize ESP life. The ENV4 meets the following standards: SAE J, ISO 4925, DOT3, DOT4. It is also approved according to OEM AUDI/VW/SEAT/SKODA standards. The ENV6 meets and exceeds the standards of all existing DOTs: SAE J, ISO 4925, DOT3, DOT4, DOT 5.1. Shelf life is doubled. The liquid can be kept for up to 60 months instead of 30. The brake fluid maintenance interval is also extended by 50%. It can withstand a purge every 3 years instead of 2 years for classic DOTs. The ENV6 is therefore capable of replacing all current DOTs on the market.
- DOT 3: synthetic oil reserved for drum brakes.
- DOT 4: higher quality synthetic oil.
- DOT 5.1: even higher quality synthetic oil, ideal for sporty driving.
- LHM: mineral brake fluid for vehicles with hydraulic systems.
By choosing the ENV6, you opt for the most efficient and simple solution guaranteeing you great security and peace of mind.
It is suitable for all vehicles except CITROEN with hydraulic suspension (except C5 and C6).
In addition to its high boiling point (265°C) and its very low viscosity, this brake fluid provides great lubrication to your braking system, thus increasing the life of the ESP (expensive repair in the event of improper brake fluid maintenance).
ENV6 replaces DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 brake fluids.
BOSCH is the first and only supplier of a universal brake fluid that can replace all current DOT standards with a single product (ENV6) and for this has received the 2017 Equip'Auto International Grand Prize for Innovation.
