Can you tell me the type of brake fluid needed for a 2004 Ford F-150?

In 2004, the Ford F-150 requires DOT 3 brake fluid for its hydraulic brake system to function properly. Without brake fluid, the brakes won't work as intended. The pressure from the brake pedal pushes the fluid down to the brakes, allowing the brake pads to press against the rotor (which resembles a disc). The rotors are connected to the wheel hubs and rotate as the wheels turn. Increasing pressure on the brakes slows down the car. If there is no brake fluid, there will be no pressure, affecting the braking capability. Although there is an emergency brake, commonly known as a parking brake, it may not be strong enough to stop the vehicle in an urgent situation. Therefore, if you notice a brake fluid leak, it is crucial to address it promptly. It is recommended not to drive the vehicle until the brake fluid leak is repaired.
