Fortunately the reservoir is of a cunning design, as I discovered today a bit late after changing the front discs and pads. All you need to do is pour fluid into the neck until it stops going in and begins to rise. The reservoir should then be at the invisible max mark.
Being used to the older type reservoir where what you see is what you get, and mistakenly thinking the level was at the minimum mark it took a while to sink in.

Sorry to resurrect this little thread, but which Mondeo model do/did you have and which brand and type of brake fluid did you use? I'm looking for one that meets specification WSS-M6C65-A2 for a MC Mondeo. Not that I would change the brake fluid myself, but as a top up if needed. I know it needs to be DOT 4, but Nulon and Penrite spec finder doesn't show one that meets the spec. The only one I can find that might meet it is Castrol React Performance DOT 4.
BTW, you are so right about the deception of the reservoir. Looking at the outside, it can give a false reading, but on opening the cap, you can see how much is in there.
