Not for motor vehicles, use the correct oil.

If brake fluid can burn paint off bodywork I don't think it would be good using it as a lube.

The red brake light indicates that the parking brake is on or that the brake fluid is low. Be sure to add the specified brake fluid if you add fluid. Also make sure that you don't allow any dirt to get into the brake fluid and don't overfill the brake fluid either.

Good time to replace all the brake fluid. Remove the brake lines from the Master Cylinder and pump the master cylinder dry. Add fresh brake fluid from an unopened can and bleed the master cylinder. Reinstall the brake lines and then bleed all brake lines until you see clean fluid. Keep adding fluid to the Master Cylinder until you are done.Good time to replace all the brake fluid.

Where to put brake fluid in an 1989 Dodge Spirit?

Before you add brake fluid, are you SURE you need to add some? Because as brake pads wear, the brake fluid level goes down, but the brake pads need to be replaced then, BEFORE any brake fluid is added. Otherwise, when the brake pads ARE replaced, there will be too much brake fluid in the reservoir, and it will flow out when the pistons are pushed back into it's bore, to make room for the new pads. -Tom.


Where do you put the clutch fluid on a 1993 ford escort gt?

The clutch fluid on all Escorts uses brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch master cylinder is just below the brake fluid master cylinder and is fed fluid from it. Make sure it doesn't run dry or you'll have to bleed the brakes.
