Brake Fluid: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid with a lower boiling point then DOT 3 specifications allow. Doing so could result in brake failure during prolonged hard braking.
WARNING: Use only brake fluid that is stored in a tightly sealed container. DO NOT use petroleum based fluid because seal damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc.
