What does the low brake fluid light symbol look like?

The indicator symbol can vary from one manufacturer to another, so there is no straight forward easy answer to this question.

Some indicators have a round symbol with dashes around it ... some autos the "brake" lamp will start flashing.

Best prevention: check ALL your engine fluid levels at least once a week. Don't wait for an 'idiot light' to indicate something being wrong ... often when these dash lights come on, the problem has worsened and might require major repairs. Fix the little things sooner and they tend to not become larger nightmares.

What happens when you mix Clorox and brake fluid?

Most times, nothing. This is a confusion of the real question "What happens if I mix Pool Shock and brake fluid?". Answer: smoke and then fire.

Clorox and pool shock are both oxidizers - lots of oxygen in it's molecular makeup waiting to combine with something. The difference is that pool shock is 50% - 60% reactive, Clorox is only 4% - 5% reactive.

Brake fluid absorbs water from the air. The pool shock reacts with that water creating heat. The heat causes the brake fluid to smoke and if it gets hot enough, it will burst into flame.

Note: This is a seriously strong chemical reaction. Fire hazard, burns, smoke inhalation, dangerous chemical waste, etc. can result if you try this. You have been warned!
