You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only when workis done on thebrake hydraulic system. I Brakes Brake Master Cylinder Your brake master cylinder is here. is It filled with DOT-3 brake fluid. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in your master cylinder might go down. The first isthat the brake fluid goes down an acceptable to level during normal brake lining wear. When new liningsare put in, the fluid level goes back up.The other reason is that fluid is leakingout of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake system fixed, sincea leak means that sooner or later your brakes won't work well, or won't workat all.

Service
&
Appearance
Care
NOTICE:
When
using
concentrated
washer
fluid,
follow
the manufacturer’s
instructions for
adding
water.
Don’t mix water
with
ready-to-
use
washer
fluid.
Water
can cause
the solution to freeze
and
damage
your
washer
fluid
tank and other
parts of the washer
system.
Also,
water
doesn’t
clean as well
as
washer
fluid.
Fill
your
washer
fluid
tank only
%
full
when
it’s
very
cold.
This
allows
for
expansion,
which
could
damage the
tank
if it is
completely
full.
Don’t
use
radiator
antifreeze in
your
windshield
washer.It can
damage
your
washer
system
and
paint.
I
Brakes
Brake
Master
Cylinder
Your
brake
master
cylinder
is
here.
It is
filled
with
DOT-3
brake
fluid.
There are only
two
reasons
why
the
brake
fluid
level
in
your
master
cylinder
might
go
down.
The
first
is
that
the
brake
fluid
goes
down
to an acceptable
level
during
normal
brake
lining
wear.
When
new
linings are put in, the fluid
level
goes
back
up. The other
reason
is
that fluid
is
leaking out of the brake
system.
If
it
is,
you
should
have
your
brake
system
fixed,
since a leak
means
that sooner
or
later
your
brakes
won’t
work
well,
or
won’t
work at all.
So,
it
isn’t
agood idea to
“topoff”
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.
When
your
brake
fluid
falls
to
a
low
level,
your
brake
warning
light
will
come on. See
Brake
System
Warning
Light
in the
Index.
What
to
Add
When
you
do
need
brake
fluid,
use
only
DOT-3
brake
fluid
-
such as Delco
Supreme
11@
(GM
Part
No.1052535).
