How often should Toyota brake fluid be replaced?
2 Answers
Toyota brake fluid is generally replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about brake fluid: 1. Characteristics: Ensures flexible transmission of braking force under working conditions such as high temperature, extreme cold, high speed, and humidity; Non-corrosive to both metal and non-metal materials in the braking system; Effectively lubricates the moving parts of the braking system, extending the service life of brake wheel cylinders and rubber cups. 2. Precautions: Do not mix different types and brands of brake fluid. For braking systems with special requirements, use brake fluid of specific brands. Since the formulations of brake fluids vary by brand and type, mixing them can lead to a decrease in the performance indicators of the brake fluid.
I've been using Toyota cars for over ten years, and the replacement cycle of brake fluid is very important. It's usually replaced every two years or every 30,000 kilometers, because it tends to absorb moisture. Over time, it can reduce braking effectiveness, which could be dangerous in an emergency if the brakes don't respond well. During regular maintenance, I always ask the mechanic to check the moisture content—it's simple and worry-free. Remember, don't delay; make it a habit to replace it regularly. Safety comes first, and it also greatly benefits the vehicle's lifespan by reducing the risk of brake system failures. My experience is to replace it every two years on schedule, and I've never had any issues.
