Brake fluid replacement method: 1. Ensure the vehicle is turned off and open the brake fluid reservoir cap. Use a syringe to extract all the brake fluid inside until the reservoir is completely empty; 2. Pour new brake fluid into the reservoir. The amount to add depends on the reservoir's capacity; 3. Use a lift to raise the bottom of the car, or alternatively, use a jack; 4. Locate the bleeder screw on the brake caliper and remove the dust cap from the bleeder valve; 5. Use a wrench to loosen the bleeder screw, attach a rubber tube to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle; 6. Now you can start pumping the brake pedal. Pay attention to the color of the brake fluid in the rubber tube. If the color remains dark, it indicates that the old brake fluid has not been fully drained; 7. Monitor the brake fluid level. If it falls below the minimum mark, additional brake fluid needs to be added.
