i did my first change at 16k miles 5th year. unless your pedal feels spongy honestly no need to do it sooner. i mean it wont hurt to do it sooner, but from my experience on cars ive owned, not necessary.

i do check the level and color every weekend before the drive though. same goes for clutch fluid since it's next to the brake reservoir. i changed that last yr too.

And that's why we refer to them as "stealerships" instead of dealerships. Maybe it was a bit low, that's understandable. Maybe was a bit dirty, (brake fluid will turn dark in color and that is not a sign of "dirty"). $160, anyone could have done it for a fraction of that. Every 10k miles.....they are pulling your leg and a few $100's out of your wallet in between. :confused:
