Brake Fluid and Lubrication
Cars, trucks, motorcycles and even bicycles use hydraulic braking. Brake fluid is used to transfer the force applied into hydraulic pressure. In contrast, lubricants enable parts to move opposite each other in a perpendicular manner.

What type of brake fluid does a 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo use?
Good ole fashioned DOT 3. Unless you plan on completely flushing the system stick with the regular DOT 3.....not the synthetic. If you need to know why you shouldn't mix them contact me on my message board and I will explain.
Do drum brakes on a 49cc moped need brake fluid?
I am almost positive those are cable operated, so no fluid necessary.
What happens if the brake fluid cap is left off?
If the cap is left off the fluid will come out when you step on the brakes. Not only that but since brake fluid is hygroscopic it absorbs moisture from the air and introduces it into the brake system. When the air gets into the brake system over time it can corrode the brake lines, abs modulator, etc.. Personally I wouldn't pay them anything and I'd make them fix it for free. I'd ask to take to the service manager then the general manager and then the owner of the dealership. if I had to. If your state has an agency that regulates repair shops in your state I'd file a complaint with them. Here in CA if a problem occurs you can complain to the consumer affairs auto repair division and they will contact the shop and ask for records etc.. and act on your behalf to get the problem fixed

A lube for what exactly?
In masturbation for males:
It could be used as a lube of you try not to get any inside the penis (or you may get an infection). You will need to make sure you wash thoroughly afterwards, otherwise traces of the butter oils on your penis will cause bad smells and become the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
In masturbation for females:
No, never.
You should never insert anything like butter in the vagina. Doing so will cause a yeast infection which will have to be embarrassingly explained to a doctor to be treated correctly.
For loosening mechanical devices:
No. You will need to use a mechanical lubricant specifically designed for the mechanical device.

The power steering fluid reservoir is up on the passenger side wheel well in the engine bay. Looks like a short fat silver coke can with hoses coming out of it. On a side note, the 300zx twin turbo uses ATF (automatic transmission fluid) not power steering fluid.
usually a green casing with black top. the following link is NOT a 300zx, but the reservoir is about the same.

Generally this problem needs more info to figure out
