★ Top Answer
The 2005 Ford Explorer requires DOT 3 fluid for its brakes, which is a type of hydraulic fluid. This fluid flows from the brake master cylinder through the brake lines to the calipers, allowing your vehicle to come to a stop. I recommend checking your brake fluid each time you have an oil change to ensure it is at the proper level. If it is low, it may indicate a leak in the system, most commonly found at the fittings where it connects to the calipers. If you notice any leaks in your brakes, it is important to address them promptly to prevent a decrease in braking performance.
