fluid levels
How much liquid
Fluid levels are the amounts of liquid in a container, system, or body.
The term appears most often in mechanical and medical contexts: checking the fluid levels in a car means measuring oil, coolant, and transmission fluid; a doctor monitoring fluid levels tracks hydration or drainage.
The mechanic said my brake fluid levels were low.
