Can a BMW still be driven if the brake fluid expiration warning appears? Brake fluid replacement: Brake fluid needs to be replaced periodically as it is highly prone to absorbing moisture. When the water content in the brake fluid reaches 3%, it should be replaced. During replacement, it is essential to bleed all air from the brake system lines; otherwise, it may result in reduced braking force and extended stopping distances. Function of brake fluid: Brake fluid, also known as automotive hydraulic brake fluid. Early vehicles used mechanical drum brakes. With advancements in hydraulic technology, safe and reliable hydraulic braking systems became widely adopted in automobiles. Automotive brake fluid is the liquid used in hydraulic brake systems. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the master cylinder piston through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders, causing the brake pads to expand and stop the vehicle. When the brake is released, return springs pull the brake pads back to their original position.
