Checking Brake Fluid
You
can check
the
brake fluid without taking
off
the cap.
Just look at the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid level should
be above the plastic seam
in
the reservoir.
If
it isn’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 level
is
above the plastic seam, near the base
of
the filler neck.
What to Add
When you
do
need brake fluid,
use
only
DOT-3
brake
fluid
--
such
as
Delco Supreme 11
@
(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.
