All Mazda vehicles except the 1990–92 626 and MX-6 are equipped with a combination brake/clutch fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX lines located on the side of the reservoir.
If it is necessary to add fluid, first wipe away any accumulated dirt or grease from the reservoir. Then remove the reservoir cap by twisting counterclockwise. Add fluid to the proper level. Avoid spilling fluid on any painted surface as it will harm the paint finish. Replace the reservoir cap.
