Notice: When filling the master cylinder, use only Delco Supreme 11, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid. Do not use a container which has been used for petroleum based fluids, or a container which is wet with water. Petroleum based fluids will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake system, and water will mix with brake fluid, lowering the boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination.
Flush the complete hydraulic system whenever new parts are installed in the hydraulic system. Flush the system if there is any doubt about the grade of fluid in the system or if the fluid used contains the slightest trace of mineral oil. Approximately 0.95 L (1 qt) of brake fluid is required to flush the brake hydraulic system. Replace all the rubber parts, including the brake hoses, subjected to a contaminated fluid.
