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.

Brake fluid in ANY vehicle should be flushed every two to three years depending on vehicle usage.

Check the brake fluid level in the Master Cylinder. If it is low add DOT3 brake fluid to the full mark. If it was really low, the brakes need bleeding.
