Hats off to OP for coming clean and admitting that it was just his own visual mistake rather than having us believe that Infiniti was sending cars down the road w/ no brake fluid
Glad to hear it's all good
That reminds me, I haven't checked my fluids in awhile

I was LMAO when I saw your pics. I was laughing, not because you're a dumbass, but because I did the same thing when I checked my fluids the other day. I freaked out for about 4 seconds before I realized the brake fluid was clear, lol. But it is kind of funny that you posted a high-res pic clearly showing the fluid level, hahaha.

Yea I owned a used car before and the fluid was dark(dirty) lol.

Didn't think that manufacture would put in clear fluid so you can barely see it.
I should have opened the cap to check but didn't.

Anyways, I had a good laugh lol.

We're laughing with you, Kanariya. BTW- most brake fluids are silicone-based and look clear when fresh. After taking multiple heat cycles and contamination, it becomes darker. That's a good sign to flush it from the brake master and all the lines with fresh, clear brake fluid.

Hey it might be wise to taste the fluid just in case they filled it with water. Get an eyedropper and take a swig. Let me know the results.
