new
brake fluid from a sealed

the
brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the

keep

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.

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.
