Checking brake fluid level

Open the engine compartment in your Toyota Tundra II. The brake fluid level should be between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir:

How to add brake fluid

Make sure to check the fluid type and prepare the necessary items.

• Brake fluid type: FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 or SAE J1703 brake fluid

• Required items: rag or paper towel.

The brake fluid builds up the pressure that is responsible for the braking of the car. This is one of the most important operating fluids in a car. The brake fluid presses the brake pads against the brake discs, which causes the vehicle to brake. It is important to control the amount of fluid in the brake system. Checking the brake fluid level regularly can help you determine if there is any leakage. Too little brake fluid in Toyota Tundra will make the brakes inoperative.

Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air! Excess moisture in the fluid can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency. Use only newly opened brake fluid.
