Default Brake fluid question

Does brake fluid change when engine start/warm up?
My SC430 does, but my 09 GS350 doesn't.

Anything wrong with my SC430?

SC430

Brake fluid level when engine is cool.



Lower brake fluid level when engine starts/warms up






GS350

Brake fluid level when engine is cool.



Same brake fluid level when engine starts/warms up

i don't know about gs350, but i think for sc430 that's normal. on both my gs400 and sc430, i remember when the car is running, the brake pump started working and fluid level went down. after shut off, fluid level went up a little

hey congrats on the new gs man

Thanks, Henry.

I thought it had something to do with my VSC VSC OFF ABS lights.
I cleaned both front wheel sensors and the warning light problem was gone.
