Your vehicle uses DOT 3 brake fluid. You can find DOT 3 brake fluid at any autoparts store. You must use ONLY DOT 3.

You must look on the cap to be sure of the dot number to use.

dot 3 dot 4 or dot 5

you can all ways use a higher number but never lower.

look at the brake fluid cap to be sure.

Brake fluid is brake fluid. Ask your parts person if it's approved for your vehicle if you are concerned.

    Brake Fluid is NOT brake fluid. Don't write BS if you don't have a clue DA.
    There is DOT3, DOT4, DOT5

    I assumed he was wondering what brand, oh intelligent one. In case you're wondering, it would be DOT 3, but of course, you aren't because you are a genious. Thanks for your input. And maybe try minding your own business.

    It has been brought to my attention by dumb azz, that you were wondering what dot # to use, and not what brand, like I thought. Most auto manufacturers use DOT 3 type brake fluid. A few use DOT 4 type fluid, which has a higher boiling point. These fluids are glycol-based. The other type of brake fluid is silicone-based. It is classed as DOT 5.0 or 5.1 type. This fluid has a blue dye added so it is visibly different from other brake fluids. Never mix the two types!
    I hope I have satifactorily answered your question for all the genius in the world.

What kind of coolant does a PT Cruiser (2002) take?

Chrysler recommends using HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) formula coolant in PT Cruiser. If you want to do a partial refill and don't know which coolant has been used in your car, you need to do a complete flushing and HOAT replacement because HOAT coolants can't be mixed with other types of fluid.

Don't assume that HOAT is in the car now as a previous owner may have flushed it and replaced it with another coolant type.

Different coolant types, whatever they are, must never be mixed and you need to get all the old coolant out before adding the new fluid if the new is a different type.

Buy the genuine Mopar coolant for the PT which is available in the concentrate or in the premixed form.

Transmission fluid

I assume u found the dipstick to check the fluid level? Use a funnel to add fluid at the dipstick tube, slowly, while engine is running. Shift thru the gears several times, recheck level, don't overfill.
