Bleeding Brake System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and 1996 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Because of brake fluid expansion due to heat absorbed from brakes and engine, DO NOT overfill master cylinder reservoir. DO NOT reuse brake fluid. Use only new, clean DOT 3 brake fluid. DO NOT use silicone brake fluid.

NOTE: Check brake fluid level frequently during bleeding procedure. The following procedure applies to vehicles without ABS. For bleeding procedure on vehicles with ABS, see PREFERRED METHOD (ABS) or ALTERNATE METHOD (ABS).
