Checking & Filling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Concorde, and 2002 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Brake fluid level should be checked at least twice a year. Master cylinders are marked FULL, indicating the allowable brake fluid level in the master cylinder brake fluid reservoir. See Figure . The brake fluid used must conform to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703 standards. No other type of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage in the vehicle brake system. Use only Mopar(R) brake fluid or equivalent from a tightly sealed container. DO NOT use petroleum-based fluid because seal damage in the brake system will result. Although there is a range, the preferred level is FULL. If necessary, adjust the brake fluid level to the FULL mark listed on the side of the master cylinder brake fluid reservoir.
