Some brake fluid is rated for three years. But many performance brake fluids are not designed to last that long. I try not to go more than a year. A $70 power bleeder one time cost and $40 or so for Motul RBF600 each flush just isn't enough for me to worry about trying to maximize the life of my brake fluid.

That is just my thoughts on the Z. Most mass produced sedans are now using OEM brake fluid that is designed for 2-3 year change intervals. My wife drives an Acura with a three year lease, and I don't have screw with anything except tire inflation and oil changes.
