BRAKE FLUID
CHECKING AND ADDING BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid should be checked and refilled as needed
at least once each year:
• Clean the reservoir
cap before removal
to prevent dirt or
water from entering
the reservoir.
• Visually inspect the
fluid level.
• If necessary, add
brake fluid until the level reaches MAX. Do not fill
above this line.
• Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid certified to meet
Ford specifications. Refer to Lubricant
specifications in the Capacities and
specifications chapter.
Brake fluid is toxic.
If you use a brake fluid that is not DOT 3,
you will cause permanent damage to your
brakes.
Do not let the reservoir for the master
cylinder run dry. This may cause the brakes
to fail.
