Hi, I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

What's up guys? Here we have a 2013 Cadillac SRX we're going to be working on. If you need parts for your vehicle, check out 1AAuto.com

We're gonna pop the hood. To pop the hood, right next to the kick panel, right here, there's a little lever for the hood. Just pull that lever. To release the safety, there's a little lever right here. You're going to push it towards the driver's side and lift it up.

Here's where our brake fluid is. You're gonna wanna wipe the top of the cap off with rag. You don't want any dust or dirt getting in there. To remove the cap, twist it to the left. You can top it off.

As you can see on the side, there's a minimum mark and a maximum mark. Ours is right in the middle, which is good. Reinstall the cap. You want to line these tabs up right there. And then lock it in place.

This vehicle requires DOT 3 generally it will tell you what kind of fluid on the cap.
