Brake Fluid: Service and Repair

Aluminum Master Cylinder:






NOTES:
- Check master cylinder fluid level twice annually.
- Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the words "fill to bottom of rings".
- Add DOT 3 fluid to bring the level to the bottom of the primary split ring.

CAUTION: Use of brake fluid with a lower boiling point than DOT 3 fluid could result in brake failure during long, hard braking.

CAUTION: Do not use fluid which has been stored in an unsealed container. Brake fluid stored in this manner will absorb moisture which could result in brake failure during long, hard braking.

CAUTION: Use of petroleum based fluids will result in seal damage.
