The fluid level in the Mondeo brake fluid reservoir is hard to
check because the level can hardly be seen without a strong torch at exactly the right angle. My experience anyway. Fortunately the reservoir is of a cunning design, as I discovered today a bit late after changing the front discs and pads. All you need to do is pour fluid into the neck until it stops going in and begins to rise. The reservoir should then be at the invisible max mark. Being used to the older type reservoir where what you see is what you get, and mistakenly thinking the level was at the minimum mark it took a while to sink in. |

BTW, you are so right about the deception of the reservoir. Looking at the outside, it can give a false reading, but on opening the cap, you can see how much is in there. |

Don't worry about the Ford spec, any decent DOT 4 will do to top up.
