Before You Order And Use

Before You Order And Use

AS506 heats brake fluid during the boiling point test. Review the sample volume, 12V power rule, hot-fluid warning, and post-test handling instructions before use.

Use 12V Battery Power

Clamp the tester to a 12V vehicle battery. The working voltage is 12V, with a minimum of 10V. Do not reverse the positive and negative clamps or short-circuit with the vehicle.

Use Enough Brake Fluid

Fill the beaker with more than 40ml and not more than 50ml of brake fluid. Do not test without enough fluid, because empty boiling may damage the test stick.

Wear Eye Protection

Wear goggles and avoid splashing brake fluid into your eyes. Follow the brake fluid manufacturer’s safety data sheet and the vehicle service manual.

Avoid Burns After Testing

The test stick and fluid become hot after the boiling point test. Do not touch them directly after testing.

Do Not Reuse Tested Fluid

Do not pour tested brake fluid back into the reservoir. The fluid structure has been changed by boiling, and reuse may affect driving safety.

Brake Fluid Only

AS506 is designed for brake fluid detection. Do not use it for other liquids or non-automotive purposes.

Safety Reminder

  • Use by professional technicians or trained service personnel only.
  • Keep the tester away from children and untrained users.
  • If the same brake fluid sample is tested repeatedly, different results may appear because the sample has already been boiled and changed.
  • After testing, remove the unit vertically to avoid spilling brake fluid.
Key Features

Key Features

AS506 focuses on boiling point detection for brake fluid maintenance decisions, with dual test modes, fast detection, clear OLED prompts, wide brake fluid coverage, and reverse polarity protection.

Dual Mode Selection

Use Normal Mode for general brake fluid type selection or Brand Mode when you want to reference one of the supported common brake fluid brands.

16-Second Fast Detection

Press and hold the S button for about 16 seconds. The tester displays live fluid temperature and completes the result after the progress bar finishes.

Boiling Point Measurement

AS506 quickly obtains the minimum boiling point of brake fluid and provides official dry and wet boiling point values for reference.

Wide Brake Fluid Coverage

Supports DOT3, DOT4, DOT4+, DOT4ESP, DOT5, DOT5.1, DOT5.1ESP, ENV4, and ENV6 brake fluid types.

Clear OLED Interface

The screen prompts mode selection, brake fluid type, voltage, test status, live temperature, and final test result for easier operation.

No Consumable Test Sticks

The tester does not require consumable test sticks for routine testing, helping reduce repeated testing costs when maintained correctly.

Reverse Polarity Protection

Battery polarity reverse protection helps reduce risk during 12V battery connection, but users should still connect red to positive and black to negative.

3-Year Warranty

For eligible non-human damage cases, AUTOOL provides 3-year warranty support and lifetime maintenance service guidance.

Workshop-Friendly Kit

The package includes the main tester, beakers, injection sampler, hose, carry case, user manual, and retail box as shown in the Packing List image.

Compatibility And Fitment

Compatibility And Fitment

AS506 supports 9 brake fluid types and two test modes, so users can test by general brake fluid type or by built-in brand reference when applicable.

Supported Brake Fluid Types

DOT3, DOT4, DOT4+, DOT4ESP, DOT5, DOT5.1, DOT5.1ESP, ENV4, and ENV6.

Normal Mode

Use Normal Mode when you want to select the brake fluid type directly, such as DOT3, DOT4, DOT5, or DOT5.1.

Brand Mode

Use Brand Mode when testing by built-in brand reference. Select the brand and corresponding brake fluid type before testing.

14 Brand References

Brand Mode covers ATE, TRW, BOSCH, MOBIL, TOTAL, FUCHS, MOTUL, DELPHI, KUNLUN, FERODO, BREMBO, TEXTAR, MONARCH, and CHANGCHENG.

How To Use

How To Use

Use the injection sampler to collect brake fluid, connect AS506 to a 12V battery, select the proper mode and fluid type, then press and hold the S button for about 16 seconds to complete the test.

Collect Brake Fluid

Use the injection sampler to suck up brake fluid and fill the beaker. Keep the sample above the 40ml scale and not more than 50ml.

Connect 12V Battery Power

Connect the red clamp to battery positive and the black clamp to battery negative. The tester powers on automatically after correct connection.

Select Mode And Fluid Type

Select Normal Mode or Brand Mode, then choose the brand and brake fluid type such as DOT3, DOT4, DOT5, or DOT5.1.

Immerse The Test Stick

Put the test stick into the beaker and make sure the sampling hole is immersed in the brake fluid. Bleed air bubbles from the test head cavity before testing.

Press And Hold S For 16s

After entering the ready interface, press and hold the S button for about 16 seconds. Wait until the progress bar is complete to obtain the result.

Use Notes

  • Do not shake, knock, or drop the test head or heating bar.
  • The live fluid temperature and battery voltage are displayed during testing.
  • Remove the unit vertically after testing to avoid spilling brake fluid.
  • Do not reuse the tested brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir.
  • After testing, empty the brake fluid and use about 50ml of water to clean residual brake fluid from the test stick.

Maintenance And Care

Maintenance And Care

Brake fluid is corrosive. Clean the test stick after testing and use the water boiling point check for a quick initial diagnosis if the tester has not been used for a long time.

Clean After Testing

After the brake fluid test, empty the brake fluid and fill about 50ml of water to test and clean residual brake fluid from the test stick.

Long-Term Storage

If the tester is not used for a long time, detect with water so residual corrosive brake fluid can be removed from the test stick, then let the heating stick dry at room temperature.

Quick Calibration Check

Fill the beaker with water and check whether the boiling point reads around 100°C / 212°F ±3%. For stricter calibration, return the unit to the factory for retesting and calibration.

Product Comparison

Product Comparison

Compare the AS series before choosing. AS506 is different from water-content brake fluid testers and transmittance-based oil testers because it focuses on brake fluid boiling point detection.

AS501 / AS502Brake fluid testers focused on brake fluid water content detection.
AS503Engine oil quality tester using optical probe technology for engine oil transmittance.
AS505Transmission fluid tester using optical probe technology for transmission fluid transmittance.
AS506Brake fluid boiling point tester using flash point heating technology, 12V power, Normal / Brand Mode, 16-second response, and 9 supported brake fluid types.
AS507Power steering fluid tester using optical probe technology for steering fluid transmittance.
Decision CheckChoose by the fluid being tested, detection technology, power supply, test duration, mode selection, cable length, and whether boiling point reference values are required.
