    Symptoms and Conditions

    On certain Service/ABS Brake replacement parts, there may be literature
    attached that informs the technician to use Dot 4 BRAKE FLUID when
    priming the hydraulic parts or adding brake fluid to the system
    reservoir. This contradicts the information in the Mazda Service Manual
    and on the vehicle's Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Cap that specifies
    using only Dot 3 BRAKE FLUID in the system.


    Repair Procedure

    Unless otherwise specified in information provided by Mazda, use only
    Dot 3 BRAKE FLUID with the Service/ABS Brake System when priming
    hydraulic components or adding fluid to the system.
