If your brake fluid is hygroscopic then it means that is will absorb water/moisture from the air and it can effect your boiling point and your brakes may fail at high speeds.
The brake pedal will go to the floor but will have absolutely no effect on stopping the vehicle. When you push on the brake pedal it moves the fluid through metal tubes (called brake lines) to force the brake pads against the rotor which slows and stops the car. No fluid means nothing is in there to make the brake pads engage the rotors.
It uses brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid (brake fluid) is fed by the brake fluid reservoir. The clutch fluid reservoir is just beneath the brake fluid reservoir. So, add fluid to the brake fluid reservoir to fill the clutch fluid, also.
go see the doctor and tell him you have swallowd it :p
Yes. Normal brake fluid is actually synthetic
It is important to maintain the brake fluid levels in a car. The brake fluid type for a 2002 Grand AM is DOT 3 brake fluid.
Only brake fluid can be used for brake fluid. Brake fluid is a glycol-based liquid - it's closer to antifreeze than to oil, but don't use antifreeze in it either. Only brake fluid.
The brake system uses brake fluid and the trans uses trans fluid.
Locate the brake fluid reservoir, and pour brake fluid in until it's at the appropriate level.
The low brake fluid signal on a Chevy Cavalier indicates that the brake fluid level is below the recommended level. It is important to add brake fluid immediately to prevent brake system failure, which can result in loss of braking power. Check for leaks in the brake system when topping up the brake fluid.
Good question. At the brake fluid resovoir
When refilling brake fluid it is important to use the correct type of fluid for the car. For a 1995 Toyota Corolla the correct fluid is brake fluid dot 3 or brake fluid dot 4.
