Brake
Fluid
Brake
fluid
absorbs
moisture
easily,
and
moisture
in
the
fluid
affects
brake
performance
and
reliability
.
This
is
why
brake
fluid
should
be
flushed
from
the
system
every
two
years
.
When
re-
placing
or
adding
brake
fluid,
use
only
new
(luid
from
previously
unopened
containers
.
Do
not
use
brake
fluid
that
has
been
bled
from
the
system,
even
ifit
is

In

to

Remove
the

hold
it
up
to
a
strong

source
.
If
the

does
not
pass
light,
it
is

and
should
be
replaced
.
Also,
remove
the
intake

ductwork
and
check
for
oily

at
the
