Is it safe to top off brake fluid?

Post by Hugo »

I noticed that my brake fluid level is just slightly above the minimum line. The owner's manual states using FMVSS DOT 3 or SAE J1703. Obviously, the scooter contains one of them (which one is the question).
If I choose one of them, are they both compatible for topping off, or should I just bleed the system and start from scratch?
I just don't want to face any deterioration issues due to chemical incompatability.

I think you can use any brake fluid as long as it's at least a DOT3...
