How to Put Brake Fluid in a 2000 Pontiac Montana
The brake fluid in the 2000 Pontiac Montana is critical to the brakes' operation while driving. Brake fluid does not burn in the same way as gasoline, meaning the owner does not need to regularly add brake fluid to ensure the proper operation of the braking system. But brake fluid is often added to a vehicle when replacing the brakes.

Oh you make that sound easy. Have youever knowticed where it is located on a GM Mini van 1999 - 2006 right under the cowel only a half to 1 inch clearance and the wiper trans is in the way. Can't even get bottle in there to top it off when low. If low you either have a small leak or your brakes frt or rear are worn out. If brake fluid is black it is contaminated and should be flushed out. Should be a clear color. Brake fluid is water soluble and soaks up water very easy. And do not get on your paint will ruin the paint. Wash off with water quickly.
