In this video clip, I will be talking about how to check your brake fluid level. You want to check your brake fluid level when you check all the other fluids in your car which should be about once a month. Some cars are equipped with a dashboard light that tells you when you are low on brake fluid. A low level of brake fluid may indicate that you have a leak in your braking system which requires immediate assistance. The first thing you need to do is open your hood and locate the brake master cylinder. Typically this is located towards the back of the car and kind of a centralized location of the engine. Our is located right here. Next you want to clean off the top of the master cylinder with a rag to prevent any dirt or road debris from entering it when open. When you open the cap, you will see full and low level indicators inside of the reservoir.
