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 o n 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 1 1
@
(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.
