I think it's only tricky because the brakes are electronically actuated via an eletromechanical pump instead of just the brake pedal with power brake assist. In theory, if the car's on in neutral with the parking brake applied, the brakes should be actuated just like on a standard ICE car.
Just did a $20 brake fluid refresh
Purchased two 16oz bottles of official DOT3 brake fluids ACDelco brand from pep shop boys (the GM parts no matched). Siphoned 16 oz out of reservoir, and it looked EXACTLY like coca cola. Put 16 oz new in. Drove a bit. Took 16 oz out (still looked exactly like coca cola although a tiny bit lighter). Put 16 oz new in. Car has 96k miles never had a brake fluid change.
