Looking at reservoir dead on from front, there are max and min indents for fill level.

Aside from being over-filled, all things considered, your fluid definitely needs changed/flushed. It should be 'golden amber' (a la olive oil coloration - not motor oil).

Instead of flushing all that old sludge thru the lines/system, I'd instead evacuate from top of reservoir...

Good luck

Were you slow driving to bed new pads? Reservoir looks overfilled to me.

I've never been able to take out the little screen before, but then someone told me to give it a little turn (I forgot which way) to remove. Does anybody know?
