NOTHING! Use only clean fresh DOT 3 or 4 (whatever the drivers manual calls for) brake fluid in your brake fluid reservoir!
There is no substitute available that can be used for brake fluid. Using anything other than brake fluid could be dangerous and would likely cause damage.
NO
Don't do it! Your life (and others) depends on the effectiveness of your brakes. Consult a garage for advice.
Check the fluid level; if ok is there any chance someone could havetopped it off with brake fluid? (You can substitute Dexron transmission fluid but brake fluid is a WHOLE different critter). Or it could just be wearing out.
It uses brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid (brake fluid) is fed by the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid reservoir is just beneath the brake fluid reservoir. So, add fluid to the brake fluid reservoir to fill the clutch fluid, also.
Yes. Normal brake fluid is actually synthetic
It is important to maintain the brake fluid levels in a car. The brake fluid type for a 2002 Grand AM is DOT 3 brake fluid.
Only brake fluid can be used for brake fluid. Brake fluid is a glycol-based liquid - it's closer to antifreeze than to oil, but don't use antifreeze in it either. Only brake fluid.
The brake system uses brake fluid and the trans uses trans fluid.
Locate the brake fluid reservoir, and pour brake fluid in until it's at the appropriate level.
YES! Brake fluid is pretty nasty stuff. It'll eat up paint, if spilled, etc. I'd leave it to the brake reservoir only. HOWEVER, you CAN substitute Automatic Transmission Fluid for power steering fluid. Top off if in an emergency if you need to, but if you're gonna use ATF permanently, I'd flush out the power steering system first and refill with ATF so they dont mix...
Good question. At the brake fluid resovoir
