Checking Brake Fluid What to Add When you do need brake fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco Supreme 1 1 (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. 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 onthe brake hydraulic system, make sure the level is above the plastic seam, near the base of the filler neck. With the wrong kind fluid in your brake of or they system, your brakes may not work well, may not even work at all. This could cause a crash. Always use the proper brake fluid. 1 6-36
