Quick Reference
| Fluid | Type/Spec | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant | G-48 ethylene glycol (blue) | ~3.9 gal (14.7 L) |

Coolant
Tesla specifies G-48 coolant, a low-silicate, phosphate-free ethylene glycol formula. It is often blue in color. It is critical to not mix this with other coolant types. Only use Tesla-branded G-48 coolant or a direct equivalent. Never use universal coolants, as they can damage the battery and powertrain components.
Brake Fluid
Tesla specifies DOT 4 brake fluid. This is a high-performance fluid suitable for the regenerative braking system. It must be replaced every 2 years, regardless of mileage, to prevent moisture contamination and ensure braking performance.
Washer Fluid
Use any standard automotive windshield washer fluid.
A Note on Other Fluids
The Tesla Model X is an electric vehicle and does not have an internal combustion engine. Therefore, it does not use engine oil, transmission fluid, differential gear oil, power steering fluid, or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The electric drive units are sealed and lubricated for life.
