You don't have to change it under normal driving. If you have or had a brake job done, The mechanic should %26quot;bleed%26quot; the brakes completely and replace with fresh.
I would just keep a check on the brake fluid levels and at the next brake job, make sure they %26quot;bleed and flush%26quot; the lines until clear.When do i have to change the brake fluid?
that is true but you can suck it out and bleed system brake fluid will break down after long periods of timeWhen do i have to change the brake fluid?
Your supposed to do it every year.When do i have to change the brake fluid?
check with your owners manual or ask the dealer about it.When do i have to change the brake fluid?
Never changed brake fluid in any car or truck except one that had two bad brake calipers. I keep my vehicles for 10 years and usually trade them in with 160K miles. I've never had a brake fluid problem and that includes living in Florida (very, very humid), California (very, very dry) and South Dakota (very very well, ah, Very!).
Use manufacturer's recommended brake fluid. Make sure everything is clean when you add fluid. And, keep the reservoir at least half full. Then, forget about it.When do i have to change the brake fluid?
its a wast to change. when you get a brake job done it usually flushes enough of the old fluid out and is replaced by new fluid.When do i have to change the brake fluid?
Brake fluid can draw moisture if left open to the atmosphere. Water isn't something you want in the brake lines. But since the system is usually kept capped and sealed, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If the fluid in the reservoir is still clear, it's ok. If it looks dark and dirty, bleed it out of the system.When do i have to change the brake fluid?
Once every year. You need to have the brakes bled. And just because you may have gotten a 'brake job' doesnt mean its was done. Most techs dont like doing it. So they dont. Some say you dont have to bleed the brakes unless you open up the hydraulic system(example replacing a caliper or brake line...) but this isnt true. Brake fluid loves moisture. leave a bottle of brake fluid open over night and its garbage. brake fluid can get very hot. thats why its rated in boiling point. water/moisture is 212 degress. spirited driving the temp can get well above that. the water/moisture boils and then turns into gas. Gas/air is compressible liquids are not. Im sure you have plenty of air in the system and you have a low soft pedal. If you had it bled you would have a firm high pedal. Contaminated brake fluid can rot out your rubber brake lines,master cylinder seals basicaly everything rubber. It will swell and then burst. I dont care what idiots say yeah they can push their luck but for a maintained safe brake system...ONCE EVERY YEAR.
I write like a book because stupid people giving false info irritates me
Good luck!When do i have to change the brake fluid?
Recommended is every 30,000 miles or 36 months. Make sure you use DOT 3.
Ironically, I haven't had my civic 95 changed for over 12 years (210k miles); still works fine.
Good luck!
