  4. ChapmanF replied to the thread How often do you need to change brake fluid?.

  7. ChapmanF replied to the thread Should I change or flush coolant?.

    No, that's the brake fluid. The engine coolant reservoir has the same pink stuff as the inverter reservoir. With cars, when we say...

  8. ChapmanF replied to the thread Should I change or flush coolant?.

    Your photo is of the reservoir for the inverter coolant. I've never seen the Prius c's inverter reservoir up close to see where the F...
