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.

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.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make
a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are
worn
and new pads are needed. The sound may come
and
go
or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving
(except when you are pushing on the brake pedal
firmly).
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
