Attention. Use only DOT-4+ brake fluid from a clean, airtight container when adding fluid to the brake system expansion tank or to the clutch hydraulic drive tank. This polyglycol brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs atmospheric moisture. Do not use liquids from open containers, as they may contain water. Mismatched or contaminated brake fluid can cause damage to the brake system components. Use only the recommended DOT-4 + brake fluid.
