Brake Fluid: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.90 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.45 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.90 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.78 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.58 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.50 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.45 |
What moves the price
For brake fluid, the drivers are filtration grade, airflow resistance, electrostatic charge, material layer count, roll width, DEXRON/MERCON spec, friction modifier package, viscosity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published B2B quotes cluster around DOT 3/DOT 4 brake fluid in 250–500 ml retail-style bottles, with lower prices appearing at 5,000+ piece MOQs and the best quoted values around 10,000–12,000 pieces. Price is mainly moved by DOT specification, packaging format, and whether the quote is OEM/private-label from a Chinese manufacturer versus a US wholesale distributor; certification and traceability matter more for higher-spec DOT 4/5.1 than for commodity DOT 3. Realistic supplier routes are China-based OEM/manufacturer listings and US-facing trade wholesalers, but the most aggressive per-unit pricing in the results comes from import/OEM quotes rather than domestic distributors.
