When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions
for adding water.
0 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.
0 Fill your washer fluid tank
only 3/4 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.
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 a good idea to “top
off’ 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,
lour brake warning light will come on.
See “Brake System Warning Light” in the
hdex.
What to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid -- such as Delco
Supreme 11 @ (GM Part No. 1052535).
Use new brake fluid from a sealed
zontainer only, and always clean the brake
fluid reservoir cap before removing it.
