filled
with DOT-3 brake fluid.

when your linings are worn, th
'11 have too much
fluid when you get new brake
. You should add
(or remove) brake fluid, as ne
only when work is
done on the brake hydraulic s
There are only two reasons why the brake fluid lev6
the reservoir might go down. The first
is
that
the
br;
fluid goes down to an acceptable level during norm
brake fining wear. When new linings are put in, the
fluid
level goes back
up.
The
other reason is that f l ~
is leahng out of the brake system. If it is, you shod
have your brake system fixed, since a leak means
tl:
sooner or later your brakes won't work well, or
WOT
work at all.
