New DOT 3 Brake Fluid

There is a new DOT 3 brake fluid available for 2015 Escalade Models, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, and Yukon Models; and 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500.

 

The new fluid has significant improvements in lubricity to eliminate previously known issues with master cylinder squeak/noise.

 

The new DOT 3 brake fluid — GM P/N 19299818 (U.S.) and GM P/N 19299819 (Canada) — is available for order through the dealership parts department.

 

Always use the new DOT 3 brake fluid when refilling or servicing the brake system. If another type of DOT 3 brake fluid (including the GM DOT 3 Delco Supreme II) is used to refill the master cylinder, it may cause a master cylinder squeak noise. If the wrong DOT 3 brake fluid is used, remove as much of the old brake fluid from the master cylinder as possible and refill with the new DOT 3 brake fluid. Depress and release the brake pedal five times to allow the new fluid to enter the system.

Yep. Replaced the Delco Supreme II all together. The part number supercedes to that new number 19289818 so no matter what dealer, they should have it on the shelf. We've been using it for a bit of time now.

So, should we buy it from GM to be safe?
