Check to see if it's low first. Then any auto parts store, hell WalMart.

Update so the snow was gone off my street. The hardest thing was my street is declined ever so slightly but enough to experience roll back when not in gear, that plus the snow, plus 60% on treads most likely added on to me not being able to get out of my street. So i checked the fluids and the distance between min and max was really small! I didnt know it was that minimal of a difference. So I drove to work today and after 10 minutes or so of driving the lights turned off. Im assuming the car needed to know if it was ok to turn the ABS and other light off. So Immediate problem was solved but now i must refill the brake fluid. In the brake fluid compartment there are two containers inside. Do i fill both?

This question makes me very sure that you have never read the manual.

They're right filling your brake fluid, engine oil, power steering fluid, clutch fluid, windshield washer fluid and all the basics are covered in the manual as well as maintenance schedules and the recommended types of fluids. All car manuals come with that information

Your welcome, just be sure to search google first for answers. I typically type in "the370z _______" and fill in whatever key words I have a question and it is very effective in getting the right answer.

Use:

"Site:the370z.com "

Use the space then your entry.



Or, when you go to advance search, there is a google bar at the top
