The procedure is identical on lots of vehicles so it is also identical for Mitsubishi l200 2012 for sale, too. But, it is advisable to consult the provided booklet in any case. Besides, it should also be noted that the operation should be done with the engine off status.
The brake fluid is an important element for the correct functioning of the braking system: to keep the system in perfect working order, the replacement of the liquid should be done regularly, especially when the use is particularly demanding. To measure the moisture content of the brake systems of cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles, it is possible to use the appropriate.
Lets Start
Let's begin; First of all, one should position the car so as to be able to work easily in the bonnet and, if necessary, use a light source. After opening the bonnet, locate the reservoir containing the brake fluid. This is usually found in the upper corner on the driver's side of the hood and is easily recognizable by its yellow cap indicating the specific symbol . If one looks at the tank from one side, there should be the maximum notch at the top and the minimum mark at the bottom. If the liquid has already a few years of life it will be darker and therefore easily visible from the outside (the tank has certain transparency).
Present In The Tank
In case the liquid is relatively new (and therefore lighter) it will be slight very difficult to see the level from the outside but gently moving the tank you should be able to see the liquid and then ascertain the level. As for other liquids, even in this case, the ideal level is between half and the maximum of the notches. Regarding the brake fluid, the speech is however slightly different than the other cases. In fact, it can happen that despite the level is in the middle or slightly below, for example, it is said that the liquid is to be understood as insufficient. This is because, with the consumption of friction materials (particularly discs and pads) increases the excursion of the pistons and, consequently, the amount of brake fluid present in the circuit to the detriment of that present in the tank.
In A Nutshell
So, in a nutshell, before making a top-up and restoring the level, check the status of discs and pads because they could be replaced. This, of course, is a very generalized speech that can vary from case to case but in any case, the liquid will never have to get close to the minimum! Keeping these considerations in mind one check/top up the brake fluid and firmly replace the cap on the tank. However as additional notes, one should note that we do not allow the brake fluid to fall onto the body as it attacks the paint; Keep the tank cap open just long enough to check/top up. The brake oil is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture). If possible, use a new or freshly opened bottle of brake fluid.
