Checking Brake Fluid What to Add
You
can check the brake
fluid without taking off
the cap.
Just look at the windows on the brake fluid reservoir.
The fluid levels should be above
MIN.
If
they aren’t,
have your brake system checked to see if there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make
sure the levels are above
MTN
and helow
the
top
of
each window.
When you do need brake fluid,
use
only DOT-3 brake
fluid
--
such
as
Delco Supreme

@
(GM
Part
No.

from
a sealed
container only.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing it.
This
will help keep
dirt from entering the reservoir.
With the wrong kind
of
fluid in your brake
system, your brakes may not work well, or they
may not even work at all. This could cause a
crash. Always use the proper brake fluid.
