Bleeding Brake System: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Because of brake fluid expansion due to heat absorbed from brakes and engine, DO NOT overfill master cylinder reservoir. DO NOT reuse brake fluid. Use only NEW, clean DOT 3 brake fluid. DO NOT use DOT 5 silicone brake fluid. Check brake fluid level frequently during bleeding procedure.
NOTE:
When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11(R), (GM P/N 12377967 or Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings of hydraulic brake system components.
