2. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

   Old brake fluid container Brake fluid reservoir in a Škoda Fabia I A tell-tale symbol indicating low brake fluid level. Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch applications in automobiles, motorcycles, light trucks, and some bicycles. It is used to transfer force into pressure, and to amplify ...

3. Grease (lubricant) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_(lubricant)

   A true grease consists of an oil or other fluid lubricant that is mixed with a thickener, typically a soap, to form a solid or semisolid. [1] Greases are usually shear-thinning or pseudo-plastic fluids, which means that the viscosity of the fluid is reduced under shear stress.

4. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.

   Modern lubricants can extend the time between oil changes to up to 7,500 miles; vehicles using full synthetic motor oils might wait up to 15,000. Even Jiffy Lube has backed off the 3,000-mile ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Today, brake pad materials are classified into one of four principal categories, as follows: Non-metallic materials – these are made from a combination of various synthetic substances bonded into a composite, principally in the form of cellulose, aramid, PAN, and sintered glass. They are gentle on rotors, but produce a fair amount of dust ...

7. Hydraulic fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fluid

   Brake fluid is a subtype of hydraulic fluid with high boiling point, both when new (specified by the equilibrium boiling point) and after absorption of water vapor (specified by wet boiling point). Under the heat of braking, both free water and water vapor in a braking system can boil into a compressible vapor, resulting in brake failure. [7]
