For the 2006 Ford Escape, it is recommended to use Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 brake fluid. You can find the brake fluid reservoir on the driver's side of the engine compartment, located on the firewall. To check the brake fluid level, ensure it is at the fill line indicated on the side of the reservoir. If the level is too low, you may experience a soft brake pedal – it will feel mushy and extend further than usual when pressed. This can result in longer stopping distances and noisy or dragging brakes. Insufficient fluid can also impact the ABS system, leading to vibrations during braking.
Dot 3 brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in automotive brake systems.
