Brake Fluid and Oil top up

Hi people,

Apologies for most probably a very stupid pair of questions but:

The brake fluid on my Sei sportings running low and the lights been coming on so been and got some dot4 to give it a top up, can anyone tell me how full the resevoir should be? Right to the top or to the seam/joint?

My oil could also do with topping up a touch, not sure if the oil in the tank is synthetic or not and what viscosity it is, is it ok to put some synthetic oil in to just top it up? Or would it be best to do an oil change?

Thanks,

Kev

semi synthetic 10w/40 for MPI seis or 15w/40 for SPI seis is ideal

If vehicle has not had an oil change recently it may be best to do that
