Recommended brake fluid:
DOT #4
If DOT #4 is not available,
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
?? Use only the designated quality brake fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
??
mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction and lead to poor performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the master
??
cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid and may
result in vapor lock.
