Statements made by the "Big 3" domestic OEM manufacturers that the brake fluid in their vehicles lasts the life of the vehicle. I have NEVER EVER had my brake fluid changed in the last 37 years of driving. To change the brake fluid or not to change? - jbif Push them for a cheaper price and tell them " as it is only a 10 minute job" which it is and 2 litres of fluid cost £10 at the most (factors). I believe this is not hygroscopic like non synthetic, but I will still flush every 2 years. Not studied the specs yet but I noticed Comma now make a SYNTHETIC DOT 4 brake fluid which is mixable with existing fluids.
Most manufacturers specify a 2 year period to change, and also the instant gravy that comes out is gritty and can jam valves in the ABS valve chamber which has fine tolerances. But you try doing 2 high speed stops (the second about 1 minute after the first) and you will have the pedal going into the floor as the moisture in the fluid (and believe me after 6 years you WILL have water) boils and vaporises - especially if the pads are worn so the tremendous heat from the disc goes straight through the calliper into the fluid. To change the brake fluid or not to change? - Woodspeedĭay to day stopping, and a MOT test will not show any deterioration.
