It isn’t a good idea to “top off” your brake fluid. Adding
brake fluid won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid when
your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid
when you get new brake linings. You should add (or
remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is done
on the brake hydraulic system.
CAUTION:
If you have too much brake fluid, it can spill on the
engine. The fluid will burn if the engine is hot
enough. You or others could be burned, and your
vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid only
when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
You can check the brake fluid without yaking 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.
Air Conditioning Refrigerants
Not all air conditioning refrigerants are the same.
If the air conditioning system in your vehicle needs
refrigerant, be sure the proper refrigerant is used. Use
only R-134a refrigerant.
