The 2011 Ford F-150 requires DOT 3 brake fluid or an equivalent that meets Ford's specifications. The truck's brake fluid capacity is 3 pints or 1.5 quarts. Brake fluid acts as hydraulic fluid in the brake lines, allowing you to apply force to slow down and stop your vehicle. To check the brake fluid level, locate the brake master cylinder in the engine compartment, directly in front of the driver's seat. The cylinder will have markings indicating the maximum and minimum levels; gently rocking the vehicle can help you get a clearer view of the fluid level.
The brake fluid used in the 2011 Ford F150 is DOT 3.
The owner's manual for the 2011 Ford F-150 recommends using DOT-3 brake fluid.
