to Add

container only, and always clean the brake fluid
reservoir cap before removing
it.

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

Your Buick has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
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).
