Before You Order And Use

Before You Order And Use

Review the brake-fluid type, battery, test interval, probe cleaning, and storage notes before using the AS502 brake fluid tester.

Brake Fluid Water Test

AS502 is designed to test the water content percentage in brake fluid. It is not an engine oil, transmission fluid, or power steering fluid tester.

Routine Check Suggestion

For routine maintenance, checking brake fluid around every 40,000 km is recommended, depending on vehicle condition and service requirements.

Use Supported Fluids Only

Use AS502 with supported brake fluid types. Normal mode is for DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5.1 brake fluid; expert mode is for selected DOT4 brands.

Install 4 AAA Batteries

The tester uses 6V power from 4 × 1.5V AAA batteries. Install batteries with the correct polarity before operation.

Clean The Probe

Wipe the probe clean before each measurement and clean it after use to avoid fluid residue affecting later tests.

Store Dry

If the tester will not be used for a long time, remove all batteries and store the unit in a dry place at normal room temperature.

Key Features

Key Features

AS502 focuses on fast brake fluid water-content testing with pressure boost detection, two test modes, a flexible stainless-steel probe, comfortable handheld control, and a readable backlit screen.

Pressure Boost Detection

Pressure boost detection technology helps improve test stability and supports clearer brake fluid water-content measurement.

Multiple Brake Fluid Support

Normal mode supports DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5.1 brake fluid, making AS502 suitable for common vehicle brake fluid checks.

Normal And Expert Modes

Switch between standard brake-fluid type testing and expert mode for selected DOT4 brands when more targeted fluid selection is needed.

260mm Flexible Probe

The 260mm gooseneck probe helps reach the brake fluid reservoir more easily during vehicle maintenance.

304 Stainless Steel Outer Hose

The probe hose outer layer uses 304 stainless steel for oil resistance, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance.

2.8-inch Backlit Display

The 2.8-inch LCD backlit display makes the result easier to read in bright or low-light working conditions.

Compatibility And Fitment

Compatibility And Fitment

AS502 offers two detection modes. Select the correct mode according to the brake fluid type or supported DOT4 brand before testing.

Normal ModeSuitable for DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5.1 brake fluid water-content testing.
Expert ModeSuitable for selected DOT4 brands, including MOTUL, ATE, FERODO, MOBIL, BREMBO, TRW, BOSCH, CASTROL, TOTAL, VALEO, FUCHS, and TEXTAR.
Selection CheckDo not treat expert mode as universal support for every fluid brand. Match the on-screen mode to the fluid being tested.

Product Comparison

Product Comparison

Compare AS502 with other AUTOOL automotive oil and fluid analyzers before choosing a tester for brake fluid water content, engine oil quality, transmission fluid, boiling point, or power steering fluid.

AS502 FocusBrake fluid water-content testing with pressure boost detection, 2.8-inch backlit display, 6V power, 10-second response, 26cm test cable, and normal/expert mode support.
AS501 DifferenceAS501 also tests brake fluid water content, but uses a 1.8-inch display, 3V power, and iron oxide hose material.
AS503 / AS505AS503 is for engine oil quality by transmittance. AS505 is for automatic transmission fluid testing by transmittance.
AS506 / AS507AS506 tests brake fluid boiling point. AS507 tests power steering fluid by transmittance.
Decision CheckChoose according to the fluid type and test principle, not only by appearance. AS502 is the right choice when the target is brake fluid water content with normal and expert mode selection.

    I usually use paper test strips for brake – fluid moisture. They’re costly, so this new tester will pay off. Tested ATE DOT 4 brake fluid;.9% moisture in a nearly – new container surprised me.

  14. Chasel Yeates

    I bought this because I recently bought a used car but I wasn’t sure if the brake fluid needed to be changed so I ordered this tool and it’s great, I usually do my own maintenance on my car and it was very convenient to use it to do the test and I found out that my brake fluid did need to be changed.

    The brake fluid test data is very accurate. Since brake fluid absorbs water very easily, I think it is very necessary to purchase this machine. I tested several types of brake fluid and compared the results with old brake fluid. The data is reliable and trustworthy. Furthermore, I understand that AUTOOL obtained this data through extensive repeated experiments, so I have great confidence in this brand.

    This brake fluid tester determines whether the car’s brake head needs to be replaced by detecting the water content of the brake fluid. When used with a brake fluid replacement machine, the number of times the brake fluid needs to be replaced is much faster.

    I am very satisfied with the AUTOOL AS502 I purchased. The device is compact and easy to operate. It can determine whether the brake fluid needs to be replaced by testing the water content of the brake fluid. It is a very practical product.

  18. Jonah Hofmann

    The AS502 perfectly meets my needs. My car has recently been experiencing issues with insufficient brake pressure and soft brakes. After searching online, everyone gave me advice on whether I need to replace the brake fluid. This device tests the water content in the brake fluid to determine whether my car’s brake fluid needs to be replaced. It’s easy to operate and suitable for novices.
