Front/Rear Axle Fluid - Jeep Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to fall as
the brake linings wear. However, an unexpected drop in
fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check
should be conducted.
Refer to "Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts" in this
section for the correct fluid type.
WARNING!
• Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial
boiling point, or is unidentified as to specification,
may result in sudden brake failure during hard
prolonged braking. You could have an accident.
• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the
brake fluid catching fire.
Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly-closed
container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or
moisture.
Do not allow a petroleum-base fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid. Seal damage may result.
