How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Changed?

[WilliamLynn]

Different vehicle models have varying intervals for brake fluid replacement, so always refer to the owner's manual. Here's some relevant information: 1. For most family cars, the brake fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers or approximately every 3 years. If you frequently drive in rainy or humid areas, shorten the replacement interval accordingly. Periodically open the hood to check if the brake fluid level is low. If you top up the brake fluid and notice it's low again shortly after, immediately inspect for possible leaks. 2. Note that brake fluid is corrosive to car paint and skin, so clean it promptly if spilled. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), always tighten the cap securely after adding fluid to prevent moisture absorption from the air.
