Air Bleeding: Procedure: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Subaru Ascent. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Do not let brake fluid come into contact with the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash away with water immediately and wipe off if it is spilled by accident.
Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands or different grades even from the same brand to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
Do not reuse drained brake fluid. When refilling brake fluid, always refill new brake fluid.
Do not allow dirt or dust to get into the oil reservoir COMPL.
For convenience and safety, perform the work with 2 people.
During the operation, keep the oil reservoir COMPL filled with brake fluid at MIN level or higher to prevent entry of air.
After air bleeding operation, wipe off fluid around each bleeder screw and the oil reservoir COMPL.
