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 11
@
(GM
P a r t
No. 12377967). 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.
I
A
CAUTION:
-
-
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.
