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, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

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 spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
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
