In this video, see how to check and top up the fluid levels of the Toyota Aygo 1.4 diesel version 1. You will need containers of engine oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and windscreen washer fluid. It is preferable to get small containers that can be kept in the boot.

The antifreeze is yellow, while the engine oil is a synthetic SAE 5W30. Check the levels with the engine off and the car on the ground. First, extract the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, replace it, and pull it out again; it should never exceed the maximum.

It must be between min. and max. If the level is low, open the filler cap and add some oil. For the coolant, open the expansion tank cap and fill it to the maximum level (not more). The brake fluid reservoir has a min. and max. indicator.

When it drops, it means the pads are worn. Again, if the level is below maximum, add fluid, but do not underestimate what this indicator tells you! Add some fluid to the washer reservoir so that the sprayer can always do its job. Operation complete.
