My brake fluid is half full is it ok to just top it off if so wut brand to top it with?

 

No. Low brake fluid = a leak or very low brakes. Either way you need to repair that problem first.

Unless you did calipers/brake work recently and the fluid never got topped up after

 

No, if i were you i wouldnt just top off the fluid, you may have air in your brake line. Mine was the same way about a month ago; my fluid was at the MIN level in the reservoir. I decided to bleed my brakes. Check in your Haynes manual or the link below on how to bleed your brakes if you're not sure. Hope this helps.

ok so i might have a leak. my brakes also kinda shutter sometimes too, im getting rotors and pads soon so i might as well bleed the brakes. tuner change your headlights back please your car was unique it stood out with the 01 headlights and that custom grill.

 

thanx.

 

Might have a leak??? I highly suggest you get it towed to a shop and checked right away, don't drive it around like that.
I would suspect your rotors and pads are toast if it's shuddering. Either way this sounds very unsafe to me.

And I'm in limbo on the headlights, I have some answers I'm waiting around for first.

 

Not necessarily. I've had shuddering brakes that I was able to safely postpone replacement for another couple months by following a normal bedding procedure. If you drive within the limits of the braking performance (even if reduced), you shouldn't have to have it towed to a shop.

 

If you are close to needing brakes, it is normal for the fluid to get down close to the "minimum" line on the reservoir. Once you put new pads in, the thicker pads push the caliper pistons farther away from the rotor and the fluid goes back up to the "high" mark.

If your fluid is below the Minimum line, just put enough in to bring it back to that line, or when you get new brakes it will overflow.
