Brake Fluid Change

Brake fluid soaks up moisture over time. A full flush replaces all of it, not just what is in the reservoir.

How often does brake fluid need changing?
Most manufacturers recommend every two years regardless of mileage. Moisture in the fluid lowers its boiling point, which can make the pedal go soft under hard braking.
