Brake fluid (Mitsubishi Lancer 3)

When handling brake fluid, please note the following:

Brake fluid is poisonous. Never suck out brake fluid with your mouth through a hose. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid only when you are absolutely sure that there is no error.

Brake fluid is aggressive and therefore should not come into contact with painted parts of the car, otherwise wipe off immediately and rinse thoroughly with water.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air. Therefore, store brake fluid only in closed containers.

Brake fluid that has been used in the brake system must not be refilled into the system. When bleeding the brake system, only new brake fluid must be used.

Brake fluid grade: FMVSS 116 DOT 3 or DOT 4, and SAE J1703.

Brake fluid should not come into contact with grease and mineral oils. Even small traces of mineral oils make the brake fluid unusable, i.e. lead to failure of the brake system.

Brake fluid is replaced every 2 years, regardless of mileage. It is advisable to replace the fluid after the cold season.

Dispose of old brake fluid at your local special waste collection point, do not pour into the sewer. Do not mix brake fluid with engine oil.
