According to the Owner Guide , Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 brake fluid
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.
The brake fluid master-cylinder cap usually specifies the correct type brake fluid for the vehicle. It is embossed in the warning statement on the cap. If the vehicle's master=cylinder cap does not have a warning statement there is usually a label near the cap that details the brake fluid information. The information is also typically in the owners manual under fluids and maintenance. I believe this vehicle should use DOT 3 brake fluid.

A 2002 Chevy Tahoe uses the standard brake fluid in passenger vehicles with power brakes. It is known as DOT3 brake fluid.
A 2002 Kia Rio takes the brake fluid known as DOT3. It is the standard type of fluid used in cars with power brakes.
Brake fluid should typically be flushed every 2-3 years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first, to ensure optimal brake system performance. However, factors such as driving conditions, frequency of heavy braking, and the type of brake fluid used can affect this interval. In the case of a 2002 Ford Focus, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's specified maintenance schedule to determine the appropriate time for brake fluid flushing. Additionally, any signs of contaminated or deteriorated brake fluid, such as a dark color or a burnt smell, should prompt immediate attention and flushing of the brake fluid.
