To
Check Brake
Fluid
You
can check the brake fluid without taking
off
the cap. Just look at the
windows
on
the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid levels should be above MIN.
If
they
aren’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 levels are
above
MIN
and below the top
of
each window.
What
to
Add
When
you
do need brake fluid,
use
only
DOT-3
brake fluid
-
such
as
Delco Supreme

@
(GM
Part
No.
1052535).
Use new brake
fluid
from a
sealed container only, and always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap before
removing it.
NOTICE:
Don’t let someone put
in
the wrong kind of fluid. For
example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such
as
engine
oil,
in your brake system can damage brake system parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be replaced.
Brake fluid can damage paint,
so
be careful not
to
spill brake
fluid on your vehicle. If you do, wash it off immediately. See
“Appearance Care” in the Index.
