Checking Brake Fluid
You can check the brake fluid without taking
off
the cap.
Just
look at the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid level
should be above the plastic seam in the reservoir.
If
it
isn’t, have your brake system checked to see if there is
a
leak.
After work
is
done on the brake hydraulic system, make
sure
the
level is above the plastic seam, near the base of
the filler neck.
What to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3
brake
fluid
--
such as Delco Supreme

Use new brake
fluid from
a sealed
container only.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing it. This will help keep
dirt from entering the reservoir.
With the wrong kind
of
fluid in your brake
system, your brakes may not work well,
or
they
may not even work at all. This could cause a
crash. Always use the proper brake fluid.
