Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection

Checking The Brake Fluid Level

Top up brake fluid if required (refer to marks on reservoir).

Never top up beyond the MAX mark as this may cause brake fluid to escape past the bleed hole.


Important information about the brake fluid

Use only new brake fluid DOT 4.

Observe brake fluid quality.

The brake fluid DOT 4 Type 200 (change interval 3 years) used until now is no longer available via the Porsche Parts Service.

"Super DOT 4" brake fluid will be delivered instead. A 2-year change interval applies to this brake fluid.

Vehicles with brake systems containing the old type of brake fluid must be filled with Super DOT 4 the next time a brake fluid change is due.

This brake fluid is available under the following part number;
Container size 1 litre = 000.043.203.66
Container size 30 litres = 000.043.203.67


Miscibility of brake fluids:

The brake fluid DOT 4 Type 200 used until now is miscible with Super DOT 4. this means that Super DOT 4 can be used to top up the brake fluid-level in vehicles with brake systems containing the old type of brake fluid until the next time a brake fluid change is due. Both brake fluids are coloured amber.
