    Also just for some more information, filling up brake fluid in the reservoir is not needed because It doesn't burn like oil so it will always be there... ... just like transmission fluid, power steering... Unless of course there's leaks in the system.... when the brake fluid gets low that's just an indicator that the calipers go in etc..when thr pads get low... and when new pads are put on the calipers.. the calipers are depressed from the Piston the brake fluid will go back up through the lines to the master cylinder.... so if there is extra fluid in there it will pour out of the master cylinder spilling in the engine bay.. if the tops off when doing a breal job.... and if it's not it will cause pressure and it could even crack a plastic master cylinder...etc.. because with the extra fluid it has to go out...... so that that would mean that low brake fluid is just your pads are getting low.. it can't be recommended to put fresh brake fluid in there once twice a year but really 4,5, 6 years cars have been running with the same brake fluid.... thanks for sharing your video.

    It's irresponsible to tell people to add brake fluid, without telling them to have someone find the leak. You should almost never have to add fluid, unless there is a dangerous problem. The system is designed to have the level stay between the marks, even after the brakes are worn, lowering the reservoir level. You fix the brakes, not add fluid, imho.
