Your basic yellow container of Prestone DOT3 is all one needs. Lucas? Why. It's got to be more expensive than Prestone and harder to find.A bottle of anything Lucas coming near my vehicle, makes me shake!!

No, shaking will just introduce air bubbles. More air that will need to be bled out. Probably minimal but still.It’s a new bottle of Lucas DOT3, never opened and still sealed. Are there any pros and cons to shaking the bottle before pouring? Thanks.
Good point.If it needs shaking now, how would you shake it after it's installed in the brake system?
Not in a Subaru Crosstrek.No shaking. Always start with the furthest brake line from the master cylinder ie right or left rear depending on which side the master cylinder reservoir is on.
I think it was 5.99 at Rural King. My local walmart has it as well.Your basic yellow container of Prestone DOT3 is all one needs. Lucas? Why. It's got to be more expensive than Prestone and harder to find.
5.99 is all I'd ever spend on that but I'd still rather get a quart of supertech dot 3 so I don't have to support a bad company. 3, 4, and 5.1 but not 5 are synthetic by default.
Interesting. Which side is the brake reservoir on?
Maybe ask you primary care doctor. There are probably drugs that can help with your need to shake everything.I get the question, for some reason I shake everything before using. I think because a mechanic told me once to shake the new oil to mix the additives that settle in the bottom. It was probably true in the past, probably not so much anymore. No clue, but I still do it, but I'm sure it hurts nothing either way.
You probably got air in it. I see reservoir empty on front section which should be rear brakes if I remember correctly.Yeah baby! Woohoo…
Question: this is the third time I bleed the breaks on this car. The previous two times I remember having to pump the brakes a few times once the job was completed before the pedal stiffened up, but not this time. Why?

The whole reservoir is full to the full line.You probably got air in it. I see reservoir empty on front section which should be rear brakes if I remember correctly.
try again after putting on glasses.Looks empty to me.
