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
