Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in the Preface section.
Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in the Preface section.
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11®, GM P/N 12377967
(Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may cause contamination which could result in damage
to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings of hydraulic brake system components.
Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid onto painted surfaces, electrical connections,
wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and cause corrosion
to electrical components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted
surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake fluid comes
in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or cables, use a clean shop
cloth to wipe away the fluid.
- Visually inspect the brake fluid level
through the brake master cylinder reservoir.
- If the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine
fluid checks, the brake system should be inspected for wear and possible brake fluid
leaks.
- If the brake fluid level is at or below the half-full point during routine
fluid checks, and an inspection of the brake system did not reveal wear or brake
fluid leaks, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level.
- If brake system service was just completed, the brake fluid may be topped-off
up to the maximum-fill level.
- If the brake fluid level is above the half-full
point, adding brake fluid is not recommended under normal conditions.
- If brake fluid is to be added to the master cylinder reservoir, clean
the outside of the reservoir on and around the reservoir cap prior to removing
the cap and diaphragm. Use only Delco Supreme 11®, GM U.S. P/N 12377967,
GM Canada P/N 992667, or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid
from a clean, sealed brake fluid container.
