How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced?

[OElle]

Typically, brake fluid should be replaced after the vehicle has been driven for 40,000 kilometers or after continuous use for more than two years. The steps for replacing brake fluid are as follows: 1. First, ensure the vehicle is turned off, then open the brake fluid reservoir cap and use a syringe to extract all the old brake fluid. 2. Next, pour the new brake fluid into the reservoir. 3. Use a car lift to raise the bottom of the vehicle. 4. Locate the bleeder screw on the brake caliper and remove the dust cap from the bleeder port. 5. Loosen the bleeder screw with a wrench, attach a rubber tube to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle. 6. Press the brake pedal and observe the color of the brake fluid in the rubber tube. If the color is still dark, it indicates that the old brake fluid has not been completely drained. If the color is light, it means the fluid change is complete. Stop pressing the brake pedal and reinstall the screw and dust cap.
