Look in the reservoir on the brake master cylinder located on the firewall on the driver's side. It's marked with the proper level. If your fluid is low, top it off, but do it very slowly! You don't want to introduce air bubbles into the system.
Is there some reason you think the fluid is low? Are the brakes not operating properly? I urge extreme caution if you think there is a brake problem. Better to have the car towed to a brake shop than to chance driving it and having the brakes fail.
DOT 3
bleed the brakes. check fluid level
Some early model Sunfires have a dipstick. In my '96, the dipstick is located near the firewall, down and inboard from the brake fluid reservoir.
most any brake fluid which is DOT approved should be fine. Be sure to use a new, unopened container.
Which fluid are you referring to? Engine oil? Transaxle fluid? Power steering fluid? Coolant? Brake fluid? We need more info, please.
There's no dipstick on a Sunfire that new. You need to add fluid at the transaxle itself. There's a plug in the side of the transaxle that needs to be removed to check or fill the fluid.
Check the brake fluid...

as far as i know you cant check the transmission fluid on a 2000 Pontiac sunfire. It uses dexcool automatic transmission fluid and very rarley needs to be changed, i have a manual shift and it never has to be changed. Actually the only way that you can change it is by having it flushed the same way you flush a radiator, it has to be sucked out by a machine.
A 2001 Pontiac Sunfire requires 1.8 quarts of DEXRON III fluid for the 5-speed manual transmission.
it doesnt have adip stick it has a bolt in the side of trans better take to dealer
Some Sunfires have a dipstick and others don't. It seems that the earlier models did have one, but don't quote me here. In my '96, the dipstick is located near the firewall, down and inboard from the brake fluid reservoir. FriPilot
