Oil In Brake Fluid Reservoir (Not me don't worry lol)

[James28]

Basically a mate of mine has made a nightmare error of putting oil in their Brake Fluid reservoir! Just wondering what would be the best plan or something to suggest he could do to flush it all out and start again lol?
Or is it a a garage jobby?

 

[Fred@BTM]

what the f**k was he thinking! suck as much out as you can and then bleed the brakes a million times should sort it!

Bet those brakes are lovely to use! As Fred said, just keep flushing through until you've got nice clean brake fluid from each corner.

As fred said really. I saw someone put water in the engine once through the oil filler.

A friends sister in law put coolant in the oil filler and oil in the water reservoir. Needless to say her car didn't last long once started....

It's not just the majority of females that are clueless with cars a guy at work didn't realise you had to put oil in the engine.:banghead:

A lad round our way had a mint xr3i (going back about 15 years here) and he filled the oil all the way up to the fill hole LOL, I don't really have to say what happend do I.
