What
to
Add
When you do need brake fluid, use
only
DOT-3
brake
fluid
--
such
as
Delco Supreme
ll@
(GM
Part
No.
12377967).
Use new brake
fluid
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.

NOTICE:
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.
