Generally, we’re always thinking about how to keep our cars running, and not so much on how to keep our cars stopping. Think about it – how many times have your brakes saved you from accidents and run-ins? Your brakes’ stopping power is directly affected by the brake fluid in your car (also known as hydraulic fluid). Maintaining your brake fluids properly will ensure the safety on the roads for you and other drivers.
It is generally recommended that you change your brake fluid every two years, regardless of mileage. Although brake fluid is contained in a sealed system and can survive for years, moisture and surrounding air can travel through the system and affect the fluid. However, you should always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture and become contaminated with dirt and other debris, which can lead to decreased braking performance and even brake failure.
