Before adding this fluid, always consult your vehicle owner's manual to ensure your system does not require a proprietary or synthetic-specific fluid that excludes these standard specifications.
- Ensure the engine is off and the hydraulic system has cooled.
- Clean the area around the reservoir cap to prevent contaminants from entering the system.
- Verify the fluid level markers on the reservoir and top off only to the recommended line.
- If performing a full flush, follow the specific service manual procedure for your vehicle's hydraulic architecture.
Keep the containers tightly sealed when not in use and store them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture contamination.
