AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner
AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is a chlorinated solvent aerosol formulated to quickly strip oil, grease, brake fluid, and other contaminants from brake calipers, rotors, drums, pads, brake hardware, clutch parts, and other automotive components. The fast-evaporating formula leaves no residue, helping eliminate brake squeal and chatter during routine pad swaps, caliper rebuilds, and general shop parts cleaning.
Strong chlorinated cleaning action for brake-system contamination
Brake systems collect a stubborn mix of oily films, baked-on brake dust, brake-fluid drips, and road grime that wet shop rags cannot lift. AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner blasts those contaminants away in seconds. The chlorinated solvent cuts through oil, grease, brake fluid, and other contaminants on brake parts, anti-rattle clips, and other metal automotive components, so brake hardware comes clean with no major disassembly and no extended soak time.
Fast-drying, residue-free finish
The formula evaporates quickly and leaves no residue on cleaned surfaces, so brake hardware can be reassembled without a separate wipe-down step. Removing oily film at the friction interface is what helps reduce brake squeal and chatter after a pad or rotor change, and the clean, residue-free finish keeps that interface stable while the brake bedding cycle takes hold during the first miles of service.
Chlorinated, non-flammable, VOC-free chemistry
AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is a chlorinated, non-flammable formula, an important property when work happens near hot exhaust components, sparking tools, or open electrical points in the engine bay. The formula is also VOC-free, which keeps shop air free of the volatile-organic-compound load produced by many hydrocarbon-based parts cleaners. Because of the chlorinated chemistry, the chlorinated formula is not available in California, New Jersey, or Canada, where local air-quality rules restrict chlorinated solvents.
Aerosol control and material compatibility
The 19-ounce aerosol can produces a high-pressure stream, and the included extension straw allows precision application inside calipers, drum brake hardware, clutch packs, and other tight automotive components. Because the chlorinated solvent is aggressive, the cleaner should be tested on a small area before broad use on rubber, painted, or plastic surfaces, and any overspray should be wiped off. The product should never be sprayed while equipment is running and should not be applied to hot surfaces.
Recommended applications and use
AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is engineered for brake-system service and general metal-parts cleaning across cars, light trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, agricultural equipment, and shop hardware. Application is straightforward: shake the can well, start at the top of the part and wash contaminants down and off the area, and repeat the pass on extremely contaminated parts. The extension straw delivers a focused stream for tight clearances inside caliper pistons, drum hardware, and clutch components.

Customer reviews
Worked well
I used the brake and parts cleaner during a repair I had to replace a leaking O ring on my 2006 Nissan frontier Oil cooler, and it really did a great job of cutting through old caked on oil deposits that had been accumulating for 7 years, thanks Amsoil!

Frequently asked questions
What does AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner do?
AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is a chlorinated aerosol solvent that quickly removes oil, grease, brake fluid, and other contaminants from brake parts and other automotive components. It is designed to clean brake parts with no major disassembly, dry quickly, and leave no residue, which helps eliminate brake squeal and chatter after a pad or rotor change.
Is the chlorinated formula flammable?
No. AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is a chlorinated, non-flammable formula. Non-flammability is one of the practical reasons many technicians choose a chlorinated brake cleaner for work near hot exhaust runs, electrical components, and sparking power tools, although the can should still be kept away from heat, flame, and direct sunlight per the Safety Data Sheet.
Why is the chlorinated formula not sold in California, New Jersey, or Canada?
The chlorinated AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is not available in California, New Jersey, or Canada because those jurisdictions restrict chlorinated solvent aerosol cleaners under local air-quality and consumer-product regulations. For service work in those states and in Canada, AMSOIL Non-Chlorinated Brake & Parts Cleaner is offered in 14-ounce spray cans and is available in all 50 states.
Can the cleaner be sprayed directly on brake pads and rotors?
Yes. The formula is safe to use on brake pads, calipers, drums, and other brake parts, and it is built to remove oil, grease, brake fluid, and similar contaminants from those surfaces. Spray from the top of the component and let the solvent and propellant wash debris down and off the part. Repeat the pass on extremely contaminated brake hardware.
Is brake cleaner the same as carburetor cleaner?
Brake cleaner and carburetor cleaner are different products. AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner is formulated specifically to remove oil, grease, brake fluid, and other contaminants from brake parts and other metal automotive components and to evaporate quickly without residue, and the chlorinated formula is non-flammable. Carburetor cleaner is built to dissolve fuel varnish and gum deposits inside carburetor bodies, often with different solvent chemistry and flammability properties. The two cleaners should not be substituted for each other.
Will the cleaner damage rubber, painted, or plastic surfaces?
The chlorinated solvent is aggressive and can affect certain rubber, painted, and plastic materials. Test the cleaner on a small area before broad use on those surfaces, and wipe off any overspray. Avoid contact with rubber boots and seals that will remain in service, and do not spray near components that the cleaner has not been tested on.
What sizes does AMSOIL Brake and Parts Cleaner come in?
The chlorinated formula is sold in 19-ounce spray cans, available as a single can (BPCSC-EA) or as a case of twelve cans (BPCSC-CA). The case pack is the practical option for shops, fleets, and DIY garages that go through brake cleaner regularly. The 14-ounce AMSOIL Non-Chlorinated Brake & Parts Cleaner is the alternative for customers in California, New Jersey, or Canada.
