when you compress the calipers it will push the fluid back in to the master cylinder most time there is no need to add fluid.

my brake reservior is already full so i'll have to take some out when i compress the caliper. i don't want to put the same fluid back in when i'm done so thats why i need to know which one i need

stanghead96 i already checked, it doesn't say on the cap
