The Strip Dip™, using FASCAR™ technology, focuses on the maintenance issues of brake fluid. The FASCAR™ rating system provides you with an accurate method to "suggest" or "recommend" a brake system flush. Brake fluid will yield a FASCAR™ rating of 75 or above when it’s ability to fight hydraulic system corrosion has been compromised. This provides the technician with an accurate tool to sell a brake system flush NOW and prevent a more costly repair in the future. The Phoenix Systems FASCAR Instructions for use: 1. Immerse the reaction zone in brake fluid for 1 sec. 2. Shake off excess liquid from the strip. 3. Wait 30-120 sec, compare the reaction zone with the FASCAR™ rating scale, and read result. 4. If rating is 75 or higher the system should be flushed and brake fluid replaced. What Does a High FASCARTM Rating Mean? The FASCAR Rating ™ scale from 0 to 100 gives the technician a way to determine the approximate age of the brake fluid and determine whether the brake fluid needs to be changed (See Chart below). Age is important because we know that brake fluid wears over time. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the fluid every one to two years, while others have no recommendation at all. You can know for sure by using the Strip Dip™. The FASCAR™ rating will vary with brake fluid age, vehicle mileage and environmental conditions. FASCAR™ ratings of 75 or more indicate the brake fluid’s ability to fight corrosion has been compromised. For FASCAR™ ratings above 75, we recommend a brake system flush.
