Brake Fluid and Lubrication

Use a turkey baster to to suction fluid out, or open a bleed fitting on any caliper and pump brakes.

The reservoir for the brake fluid on a Renault Clio is located on the master cylinder. This is located under the hood on the drivers side.

Check owner's manual! Important to use right fluid.

This depends on what type of vehicle that you have. But in most vehicles you would add the brake fluid to the master cylinder. This can be located on the firewall of your vehicle. Do not confuse a clutch master cylinder with the brake.Make sure you add the fluid to the brake cylinder.

A Toyota Camry built in 1998 takes DOT 3 brake fluid. This is the standard brake fluid for passenger cars.

DOT 4 Standard

On the firewall, in front of the booster, on top of the master cylinder.

it's ok

Yes you can but it must have the same DOT

The brake fluid reservoir is behind the spare tire in the trunk...that would be the boot if you are a Brit. The trunk is in the front in case you hadn't noticed the motor was in the back.

If you open the bleeder and it releases pressure, follow the steel line back to see if it is pinched somewhere.

Not usually. It is possible for the mater cylinder get suck in the apply position, but the brake pedal would not return to the up position after stopping. A more common problem for the brakes to be stuck applied is a locked wheel cylinder or brake caliper, or a jambed parking brake. These issues will be at one or more of the wheels, so check there if your brake pedal is at normal height.

Although they can fail abruptly the most common symptom you normal see is that when you stop and hold pressure on the brake pedal it will very slowly go down toward the floor. It will not hold steady pressure because the seals are bad. It must be replaced immediately.

NO. In most vehicles the brake fluid is different from power steering fluid. It may work for a while, BUT is it worth taking risks with your brakes. Your life may depend on that.

you open the cap that says brake fluid, and then you pour it in

The brake fluid reservoir on a 2002 Dodge Caravan is located on the master cylinder. This will be in the engine bay, on the drivers side, near the top.

buy a tap and die set.

Honestly, unless you have some kind of foreign object(s) floating in your fluid, you shouldn't... you'll have quite a time trying to bleed all of the air out if you do.

Oh man not good, brake fluid eats paint and its very toxic where it will eat up your rings and damage your tranny guts if you have done that drain it asap, other then that they are very different fluids tranny serves as coolant, lubricant, and hydralic, its thin and brake fluid just pushes your caliper pistons on pads that are applyed to your rotors and is much thicker so you dont want to mix those 2.

You are very welcome.

Dot 3

unles you can full it while you are holding the brake pedal down... it will never be full, because when you do it the fluid goes in to the line to apply the pressure on the brake cilinders

You should use DOT 4 if the manufacturer calls for it.

There are kits that can be purchased to do this procedure alone. However, if you've got help and don't want to purchase the kit, have a friend pump the brakes then hold the brake lever down while you loosen and tighten the brake bleeding screw on the caliper. Do this until no air bubbles appear. Be sure not to run the reservoir empty or you'll just be pushing air back into the system.

you should file a law suit for more info email me at animalchick301@gmail.com
