If you accidentally mix gasoline, diesel, oil or glass water into the brake oil, it will greatly affect the braking effect and should be replaced in time.

Vehicles equipped with brake oil level alarm devices should always observe whether the alarm indicator light is shining, whether the alarm sensor performance is good, when the brake oil is insufficient, it should be added in time, and the stored brake oil should be kept between the calibrated low capacity scale and high capacity scale.
