Team, I have 2000 4.6 FORD EXP with 143,000. Vehicle has run well. This is the second time at start up I am seeing the low fluid lights stay on. It will turn off after I start driving the vehicle. Usually with 3 to 4 min.

WHICH low fluid light? Brake fluid? Coolant? Oil? If you don’t know, pull out your owners manual, look up the meaning of each warning light and check that fluid level. Then report back and we’ll go from there.

dumb question, have you physically opened the hood and checked your fluid reservoirs?
