2013 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Master Cylinder and Brake Fluid Level Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Using improper or contaminated brake fluid can cause brake system failure. Using shock absorber fluid or any other fluid that contains mineral oil for the brake fluid will cause the rubber parts in the brake hydraulic system to swell or distort. If water is mixed in the brake fluid, the boiling point will be lowered.
  • Use only the specified brake fluid from a sealed container.
  • Do not use a container that has been used for a mineral oil or is wet with water for refilling the brake system.
  • Keep all fluid containers capped to prevent contamination and entry of moisture.
