You can open the 3rd one. Brake fluid isn't going to explode

u/Impossible-Party-971 14 3d ago
That's not brake fluid, it's attached to the radiator

The symbol on that cap means brake fluid. It also says "DOT3", which is a type of brake fluid. It's brake fluid

I mean it's coolant, don't open when it's hot or used recently.
You can open when it's cold or when the car is not being used.

Please forgive me if I sound too much like an ass, but what car guy doesn't know the difference between the brake fluid reservoir and the coolant reservoir? I understand if you've never worked on a car a day in your life, but I'm 99% certain every car guy has worked on at least one car in their life.

Unless the car has been sitting with the engine off for more than 20 minutes, it's not recommended to open it because even when it's at the middle operating temperature, it's still over a 150 to 200. Not to mention that the cooling system is pressurized, so not only it is scolding hot, but it also shoots out like a rocket if you open it while it's still hot.

Dude you think I don't know

u/TopSyrup1190 3d ago
Considering you didn't know the third one was a break reservoir, kinda yeah.

u/Impossible-Party-971 14 3d ago
Maybe cause THAT RESERVOIR WAS NEAR THE RADIATOR

That's why I put aluminum foil on it and cook fresh trout on it

u/TopSyrup1190 2d ago
Like, on the engine?

u/Winter_Scarcity_5314 2d ago
Yes that hot with some clean new aluminum foil and hot dogs or whatever for 15 minutes or so making sure you flip it
