Nissan Kicks Brake Fluid Malaysia
Kicks uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid — DOT 4 recommended for Malaysia's heat and stop-start traffic. Change every 2 years regardless of mileage; brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air which lowers its boiling point and can cause brake fade under heavy use. On e-Power, the brake system combines regenerative braking with conventional hydraulic brakes — brake fluid condition is equally important as on conventional vehicles, as the hydraulic system activates whenever regen alone cannot provide sufficient stopping force.
