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
11
@
(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.
