Brake Fluid - Mitsubishi Galant Owner's Manual

Vehicle care and maintenance

Brake fluid

To check the fluid level
The brake fluid level must be between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but
this does not indicate any abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time,
it indicates leaks from the brake system.

If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir
N00938800347
cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.
CAUTION
!
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix
with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage
the seals.
Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage
painted surfaces.
Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of
brake fluid have different additives, and these can
cause a chemical reaction. Do not mix brands of
brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep the brake
fluid from evaporating.
