The process works because liquids are incompressible, and the density remains almost unchanged even during pressure and temperature rises. However, the fluid must retain its properties at all ...

Brake fluid is one of the many liquids that modern cars need in order to run (or stop). It's a type of hydraulic fluid with a high boiling point, but it also absorbs moisture like a sponge. DOT 3, DOT ...
