Check and top up the liquid levels on Toyota Aygo 1.4 D version 1.

Model: Toyota Aygo MK 1, Ab10 - Years 2005-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to check and top up the levels of fluids in the Toyota Aygo 1.4 diesel version 1. We will need packages of engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid. It is preferable to get small packages that can be kept in the trunk. The coolant is yellow in color, while the engine oil is a synthetic SAE 5W30. The levels should be checked with the engine off and the car on the ground. First, we extract the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, put it back in and pull it out again; it should never exceed the maximum level. It should be between min. and max. If the level is low, we open the filling cap and add some oil. As for the coolant, we 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 brake pads are worn out. If the level is below the maximum, fluid should be added, but we should not underestimate what this indicator tells us! We add some fluid to the windshield washer fluid tank, so that the sprayer can always do its job. Operation completed.
