How to Check Brake Fluid

Brake fluid check

How do the brakes in your vehicle work? What color is brake fluid? These are common questions that Queen Creek drivers should know, and Courtesy CDJR of Superstition Springs have the answers for!

 

 

We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions when it comes to brake fluid to make sure your brakes are working as they should.

Brake Fluid Service Intervals

Ideally, your brake fluids should be checked on every time you go in for an oil change, or at least once a year. Generally, brake fluids last about 4-5 years, but that depends on the driver’s habits, model, and environment. Make sure to bring your vehicle for scheduled routine maintenance at an OEM-certified service center where a team of certified mechanics will check and change your brake fluid, getting you back on Apache Junction roads in no time!

3 Simple Steps on How To Check Brake Fluid

  1. Check your owner’s manual to locate your vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir on the master cylinder under the hood.
  2. Check your brake fluid level against the minimum or maximum lines on the outside of the reservoir. If the brake fluid levels are closer to the minimum line, it is time for you to add brake fluid.
  3. Look at the colors of the brake fluid. If your brake fluid color is clear with a yellowish tint, then your vehicle is fine to keep driving on Tempe roads. However, if it is black or dark brown, you’ll need a brake fluid flush.
