Brake fluid is specifically formulated to withstand the high pressures and temperatures generated by a vehicle's braking system. Transmission fluid, on the other hand, is designed for a completely different purpose and does not have the same properties as brake fluid.
Using transmission fluid as brake fluid can lead to several serious problems, including:
* Loss of braking power: Transmission fluid is not as viscous as brake fluid, so it can cause your brakes to lose their effectiveness. This can lead to accidents and even fatalities.
* Damage to your brake system: Transmission fluid can damage the seals and components in your brake system, leading to costly repairs.
* Fire risk: Transmission fluid is flammable, so using it as brake fluid can increase the risk of a fire in your vehicle.
For all these reasons, it is important to use only the correct type of brake fluid in your vehicle. Do not use transmission fluid or any other type of fluid that is not specifically designed for brake systems.
