Caution: Brake fluid may be irritating to the skin or the eyes, or may cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea if swallowed. In case of contact or swallowing take the following actions:

   • Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water
   • Skin contact - wash with soap and water
   • If swallowed - Contact a physician immediately. Give two glasses of water and induce vomiting by sticking fingers down the throat.

Notice: Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If fluid should accidentally touch a painted surface, immediately wipe fluid from paint and clean the painted surface.

Use Delco Supreme II Brake Fluid (GM P/N 12377967) or an equivalent DOT-3 motor vehicle brake fluid. Do not use DOT-5 silicone fluid in the vehicle's base brake system or in the antilock brake system.

Always store brake fluid in a closed container. Reseal the brake fluid containers immediately after use. Brake fluid left in an open or improperly sealed container will absorb moisture. This may lower the fluid's boiling point and may result in system contamination, corrosion or deterioration of rubber components.
