Brake fluid? My fluid is still transparent, it's over 4 years old, I guess I could change it but I think I'll wait a bit. I have to be careful with my brake pedal it's still so stiff. I'm not a spirited driver nor a tracker so I'm OK with waiting a while. |

The main reason you replace brake fluid is the fact that it absorbs water. 4 years is too long.

I agree it is hygroscopic but I don't go looking for trouble. If I have an issue I'll swap it out (not sure if I'll gravity drain or pump change or use pressure method) but as long as the pedal feels good and I'm stopping I'm leaving it alone. Hey, my brake pads still look brand new, the fluid hasn't dropped at all or changed color (my two criteria for judging), so I think I'll leave it alone for now.
Thanks! Last edited by Fountainhead; 08-22-2013 at 03:21 PM. |

Hell, I don't think my dad has EVER changed brake fluid on any car he's owned, lol. But he has NO need to.
