Hydraulic Fluid

Frame/Chassis

Transmits and amplifies hydraulic pressure in secondary vehicle systems, lubricates hydraulic components, and maintains system efficiency.

Hydraulic fluid is used in various vehicle systems beyond steering and braking—such as brake boosters, convertible tops, or suspension leveling systems. These fluids must maintain consistent viscosity and lubricity across temperature ranges. Proper fluid type and level are essential for system function and longevity.
