Brake Fluid

I noticed the brake fluid was a little low on MH and was going to add some when I notice what I have says DOT3 HIGH Temperature SYNTHETIC.

Not knowing what the present fluid is will it make any difference if I add the SYNTHETIC to what is there?

Thank you

Just how low is it? The reservoir naturally goes down as the pads wear.

Brake fluid is not something that gets low unless you have a leak, or your pads/shoes are worn way down. I would suggest that you have a complete brake inspection and have them flush the old fluid out of your entire system and replace with new fluid.
On my coach, a complete fluid flush uses 3 quarts of fluid.

I agree with Ronnie, at least flush your system and put new fluid in!
