New pads, brake fluid didn't increase level

Put new pads on and really suprized I didn't need to remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder, old pads were at 7mm thickness.

Level came up only a 1/4 inch in master cylinder.

Thanks

7mm are thick pads still that’s about 60% of the life left

Brake fluid doesn’t evaporate - it’s attracts moisture which means there will be more fluid over time. You should change the fluid every time you change your brakes anyway.
