How much muffler fluid does the Hybrid take?

I was wondering about the muffler bearings??? lol

They are under the spool of pipe thread.

Sorry for the clickbait, I thought it was funny. Saw this water trail come from under the truck and thought it was strange as I didn't have the AC on. Then I spent a few minutes investigating if the muffler had a defect and that was all combustion byproduct water coming through a seam or bad weld, or if this was the bed drain holes above leaking on top of the muffler. Then I notice it is coming from a tiny drain hole on the bottom just like it is supposed to, ha ha. In my defense this is my first new car after a lifetime of used cars that always blew combustion water out the tailpipe. Probably still a good idea to check every 25k miles that the hole remains open and drips.

Drips....I collect old British roadsters and drips tells us everything is okay. No drips and something is really wrong. (We also have to get an EPA Impact Statement every time we get together with other British car hobbyists.) Glad to see Ford go back to this old British technology.

Are any special tools needed to change the fluids? Or, can I just use my Metric Adjustable Wrench ?

Yes, requires left-handed screw drivers...in metric sizes

More than blinker fluid but in the specs it shows you can actually use blinker fluid which is much cheaper. I can't really afford summer air in my tires so I'm going to save some money and keep running my winter air.

Back in the day,
We used to drill a tiny hole in the very back bottom end cap of the muffler. They rusted slower.
Put a bit larger hole and it will sound like a $1200 Borla. :’P

I'm not worry about the muffler fluid but the specific tool required since I'm a left handed

When I was in the Army, a mechanic (Warrant Officer) sent a Private out in search of some torque for a Bradly FV. The poor kid searched for hours with other soldiers not being at all helpful..e.g. "Hey Private, check with the Supply SGT", etc.
