    Hi all,

    wanna check usally we only top up brake fluid if it fall below the min level or every 2 years got to top up according to the manual? A bit confuse.

    Btw can use Dot 4 for 660 copen?

    You need to replace all the brake fluid every two years.
    Section E1 of the service manual mentions Dot 3 brake fluid.

    If you need to top up the fluid above the minimum level you probably have a leak somewhere. If you have a leak air could also get into the system. Air is compressible so your braking could be effected. Check for leaks & repair.
