The Toyota Tacoma requires the use of DOT3 brake fluid. It is highly recommended to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions regarding which brake fluid to use in the vehicle. By doing so, you can ensure optimal performance of the braking system and avoid potential issues. While DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluids may be compatible, it is best to stick to the specific recommendation. The cost to change the brake fluid and flush the system typically runs around $100. You can purchase brake fluid from retailers like Autozone or Target and keep some on hand to top up your brake fluid as needed, especially if your car indicates that the fluid level is low.
