What happens if brake fluid is spilled on a car?

[Lynn]

Spilling brake fluid on a car can damage the paintwork due to its corrosive nature. It should be promptly cleaned up with a dry cloth. Brake fluid needs to be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. When the brake fluid absorbs moisture or contains impurities; 2. When the vehicle experiences inconsistent braking during normal operation; 3. When the wheel cylinder rubber cup expands excessively; 4. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years. The method for replacing brake fluid is as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and open the hood to drain the fluid from the reservoir; 2. Use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle and start removing the tires from the rear wheels; 4. Remove the rubber dust cap from the brake caliper; 5. Loosen the bleeder screw with a wrench, attach a rubber tube to it, and connect it to a drainage bottle; 6. Press the brake pedal inside the car while observing the drainage until the fluid level in the reservoir under the hood reaches the lower limit.
