Checking the Brake Fluid of the Subaru Outback

Model: Subaru Outback MK 4, BM, BR - Years 2009-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this tutorial, learn how simple it is to check the brake fluid of your Subaru Outback. First, open the bonnet and secure it with the prop. Now, locate the reservoir on your right near the bulkhead, characterised by a yellow cap with a disc brake symbol. Next to the reservoir, you will see markings indicating the minimum and maximum fluid levels. If you need to add fluid, simply unscrew the cap and add enough fluid to never exceed the maximum level. For the type of fluid to add, check the owner's manual where you will find the relevant DOT specifications. Be careful not to spill brake fluid on your vehicle's bodywork, as it is highly corrosive!
