• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor

is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.

not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
