Nissan Almera Brake Fluid Malaysia
Almera uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid — DOT 4 recommended for better heat resistance in Malaysia's traffic. Change every 2 years regardless of mileage — moisture absorption lowers the boiling point. Workshop cost. Full flush recommended over top-up. No ABS modulator complications — straightforward service on both generations.

- Never top up with different DOT rating — contamination lowers boiling point
