Be aware when bleeding a caliper. These later reservoirs have 4 different compartments inside - each for one caliper. The fluid will lower in *one* compartment more than others. When bleeding brakes, always identify which compartment is getting low fluid - it can be one at the back of the reservoir. If you look only at the front of the reservoir, a rear compartment may get out of fluid and suck air inside ABS module. One of the way to burp air out of master cylinder and ABS module is to engage the ABS system when braking - brake on ice, snow, or brake hard on wet surface in straight line The way it's inside these modern reservoirs, you won't be able to suck all the fluid out using a turkey blaster or a hose : notice there are thin 'channels' inside the reservoir so no access to the bottom of it. It's much easier to just drain the reservoir at a caliper bleeder - carefully not to drain it completely - drain it, then refill a little with fresh fluid, then drain again and you should have pretty much all fresh fluid inside.
😮3:45 To use a brake fluid tester, the filter needs at least to be punctured if not completely removed to place electrodes into the brake fluid. Mine wouldn't come out so I punctured the filter at the 62k mile, seven year old fluid check. Great video.
