BRAKE FLUID SPECIFICATION
Use fluid that meets the defined
specification and viscosity grade.
If you do not use fluid that meets the
defined specification and viscosity grade,

warranty does not cover.
• Reduced brake performance. Note:
We recommend you use DOT 4 Low
Viscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluid
or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. If
you use any fluid other than the
recommended fluid, it could cause reduced
brake performance and not meet our
performance standards. Keep brake fluid
clean and dry. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials could result in brake system
damage and possible failure.
