Additional Notes

  • Brake fluid capacity for the Ram Cargo Van RT is expressed as a reservoir level range rather than a fixed volume, meaning the specification defines acceptable fluid level as anywhere between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir rather than a precise fill quantity.
  • A "between min and max" reservoir specification is standard for hydraulic brake systems, where the fluid level naturally drops slightly as brake pads wear and the caliper pistons extend further, consuming reservoir volume over time.
  • All configurations across the 2010-2015 range share the same reservoir-level specification format, applied under normal use conditions across the hydraulic brake system.
  • The 3.6-liter engine configuration spans two distinct year groupings, 2011-2012 and 2013-2015, both carrying identical brake fluid level specifications under normal use conditions.
  • The Ram Cargo Van RT 3.6 FlexFuel variant, available for 2011-2012, carries the same hydraulic brake system fluid level specification as the standard 3.6-liter configuration for the same years, indicating no brake system differentiation between the two powertrains.
  • The 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter configurations are each limited to the 2010 model year, both specifying the same min-to-max reservoir level for the hydraulic brake system under normal use conditions.
