Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. 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. Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind
of
fluid.
If
you
spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle.
If
you do, wash it
off
immediately. See “Appearance Care” in
the Index.
