Brake Fluid

Your brake master cylinder reservoir is filled with
DOT

-

3 brake fluid. See “Engine Compartment

Overview” in the Index for the location of the reservoir.

There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in
the reservoir might go down. The first is that the brake

fluid level goes back up.
