Brake Fluid

DOT 4 BASF Hydraulan 404 (part number 1012041-10-C) is the recommended brake fluid, except for MS Plaid equipped with the carbon ceramic brake kit. If DOT 4 BASF Hydraulan 404 is not available, DOT 3 Dow 372LB (part number 1060099-00-A) can be used alternatively.

For MS Plaid equipped with the carbon ceramic brake kit, only use High Performance DOT 4 BASF Hydraulan 406 ESI brake fluid (part number 1012041-12-C).

NOTE: The brake fluid filler cap is marked 'DOT 3'. This is the minimum requirement and does not state to only use DOT 3 brake fluid.
CAUTION: Only use new fluid from sealed containers.
