How often should the brake fluid be replaced for the Teana?
2 Answers
Teana brake fluid should be replaced approximately every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid or force oil, is the liquid medium in the hydraulic braking system that transmits braking pressure and is used in vehicles with hydraulic braking systems. Taking the 2021 Teana as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4901mm, width 1850mm, height 1450mm, wheelbase 2825mm, and fuel tank capacity 61.3L. The 2021 Teana is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 197Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving my Teana for almost ten years, and regarding brake fluid replacement, the standard maintenance is to change it every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, and over time, the increased water content lowers its boiling point. During downhill driving or emergency braking, it may vaporize and fail, which is very dangerous. I once delayed the replacement, and the brake pedal felt spongy—I almost had an accident. I rushed to the shop afterward to get it replaced. The replacement process isn't too complicated, but professional equipment is needed to drain the old fluid and ensure no air bubbles remain. I recommend handling it during regular maintenance, such as at a 4S shop or a reliable repair shop, while also checking the brake pad wear. Preventive maintenance costs little but ensures safety—don't take it lightly.
