Brake fluid (BMW 5 Series E34)

When working with brake fluid, consider the following:

Brake fluid is poisonous and should never be sucked out by mouth through a hose. Pour brake fluid only into containers that cannot be used by mistake.
Brake fluid is aggressive and therefore should not come into contact with the paintwork, otherwise it should be wiped off and rinsed with plenty of water.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. Therefore, brake fluid should only be stored in closed containers.
Brake fluid that has already been poured into the brake system cannot be reused. When removing air from the brake system, also pour in new brake fluid.
Brake fluid specification: DOT 4.
Brake fluid should not come into contact with mineral oils. Even the slightest traces of mineral oils in the brake fluid preclude its use or disable the brake system.
Replace brake fluid once a year. It is better to replace the fluid after the winter period.
Old brake fluid should be taken to local special waste collection points and not flushed down the drain.
