Hi, recently the brake fluid level warning light has popped up on my dash, when I give it a bit, and I checked the levels and it is low. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good brake fluid to use, as I have no clue what to put in. Also, could that warning come on only when I flaw it because the fluid swishes around and it shows its low on the sensor thingy?
I dont know... any thoughts?

It should say what type to use on the Brake fluid bottle. DOT 3 is the fluid type you need.

If the brake fluid is near the full mark, it shouldn't swish around so much as to activate the switch to show the warning light.

So just top up and you should be fine.
