if the vehicle has a low brake pedal, check for brake fluid leaks, or out of adjustment brakes. if it is just low on fluid, check for worn out brake linings.
no, both trans fluid and brake fluid perform the same function, just have different properties and heat tolerances, make sure a professional flushes the brake system for you, this is the only way to flush it properly
could be the grade of brake pads you use, might have air in your brake systems that you need to bleed, could be low on brake fluid or completely dry.
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.
That depends what kind of oil, but most oils will adversely affect the rubber brake seals. I would replace all the brake fluid in your car as soon as possible.
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.
The reservoir is located on the driver's side rear of the engine compartment below the wiper boat assembly. Be sure to clean the cap before removing it and use the correct type of brake fluid as indicated on the cap. Normally, as the brake linings wear the fluid level in the reservoir drops. The level should not go so low as to affect functioning of the brakes or turn on a warning indicator lamp. When the linings are replaced, unless fluid is removed from the system, the fluid will rise to its previous level. If additional fluid had been added to the reservoir, it may overflow and spill brake fluid out. If not immediately cleaned off, brake fluid can damage paint, metal, plastic, and wiring. Keep in mind that if you have a low brake fluid level you should check for worn brake linings or fluid leaks. Excessively worn linings or leaking brake fluid can lead to brake failure if not corrected.
Locate the brake fluid reservoir, and pour brake fluid in until it's at the appropriate level.
Good question. At the brake fluid resovoir
