Note
Use only new brake fluid.
The brake fluid is toxic. Due to its acidic properties it should not come into contact with painted surfaces.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs humidity from the atmosphere and, therefore, must always be stored in hermetically sealed containers.
Any brake fluid losses must be rinsed with water.
