Will Not Changing Brake Fluid for 6 Years Have Any Impact?
1 Answers
Not changing brake fluid for 6 years will not cause significant impact on the vehicle, but exceeding the recommended interval by too much can not only damage the vehicle but also affect driving safety. Brake fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every 40,000 kilometers or every two years. Below is more information about brake fluid: 1. Automotive brake fluids should not be mixed. Different types and brands of brake fluids have varying compositions, and mixing them may lead to a decline in performance or chemical reactions. This not only reduces the braking effectiveness but also affects the fluid's temperature resistance, directly impacting driving safety. 2. Automotive brake fluid effectively lubricates the moving parts of the braking system, extending the service life of brake calipers and rubber cups. 3. Automotive brake fluid has anti-corrosion and anti-rust properties, causing no harm to both metallic and non-metallic materials in the braking system. 4. Automotive brake fluid can adapt to various environments, ensuring effective transmission of braking force under conditions such as high temperatures, extreme cold, high speeds, and humidity.
