As per Chevy's guidelines for the 2008 Cobalt, the recommended brake fluid is Motorcraft high-performance Dot 3 or Dot 4. You can check the brake fluid type on the reservoir cap. The price for replacing brake fluid typically falls between $5 to $15, depending on the brand and quality. It's recommended to replace the brake fluid every 30,000 miles according to factory specs. If you opt for a professional service, the cost at an auto shop usually ranges from $80 to $120, covering labor and parts. The most common reason for flushing and bleeding brake fluid is to address normal brake issues. However, a flush and bleed service may be necessary if the fluid is excessively old, dirty, or harmful to the rubber components of the braking system.
The 2008 Chevy Cobalt employed DOT 3 brake fluid.
