Where do you put brake fluid on 1999 Saab 9.5?
if your brake fluid is low, you probably need to replace your brake pads. If your pads are good and you fluid is low, you have a leak somewhere. By replacing your pads, the brake fluid level will rise to the proper level. If you add fluid now, then replace your pads, brake fluid will leak out the top of your fluid reservoir and most likely eat the paint off what ever it spills on. Brake fluid and car paint DO NOT MIX.

What happens if you install front brake pads on an 07 Honda Civic without adding brake fluid?
Probably nothing. When you install new pads, you have to retract the piston some for the new, thicker pads to fit. Pushing the piston back causes the fluid to back up into the reservoir. This actually raises the fluid level. If the pads were really worn, you may even have to remove some fluid to avoid an overflow. After you are done replacing the pads, it is always good to bleed the brake system to purge any trapped air.
