How often should the brake fluid be changed in the new Lavida?

Introduction to the brake fluid replacement interval for the new Lavida: The brake fluid in the Lavida should be changed every 30,000 kilometers or every two years. After prolonged use, the brake pump will experience varying degrees of wear, making it advisable to replace the car's brake fluid. Below is relevant information about automotive brake fluid: 1. As the medium that directly transmits braking pressure in a car's braking system, the performance of brake fluid significantly impacts the effectiveness of the car's braking force. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic, it continuously absorbs moisture from the surrounding air during use. 2. If brake fluid remains in the braking system for too long and absorbs a sufficient amount of moisture, vapor lock may occur in the system's pipelines during braking, affecting braking performance. In severe cases, this can even lead to complete failure of the braking system. Therefore, to ensure driving safety, automotive brake fluid should be strictly replaced at the recommended intervals.
As a car owner, I must remind everyone not to take brake fluid lightly. My Lavida's manual states it should be changed every 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, but actual usage shows you can't rigidly adhere to that interval. Last maintenance check, the technician's moisture tester showed over 3% water content - no wonder the brakes felt mushy in rainy weather. Especially in humid southern regions like ours, I recommend checking every 1.5 years. A fluid change only costs 200-300 yuan, which beats brake failure, right? Safety is no trivial matter - I always verify the replacement record on the maintenance checklist.
