I get it, great information for people who probably change their oil every 2-3 years and totally neglect their cars, LOL. One thing you should mention when refilling the fluid is to put it back to where it was to prevent over filling if your pads are low at the time you do this.

I bought 2006 Toyota Camry at new and I still have it. I have never added any brake fluid or flush it. Now it has 150,000 miles on it and still drives well without any problem. Am I lucky to own this vehicle? So far in my life I have owned about 6 new vehicles and about 5 used vehicles and I have never flushed brake fluid any of the vehicle that I have owned. And I can't even remember adding brake fluid.

@bradh7472
@bradh7472 3 года назад
You could do this and then a few days later do it again. Eventually you will have all the old out and new in after a few times. Yes taking the wheels off and opening up the bleeders is the way to go but for someone not wanting to do that I think you could eventually have a fully cleaned system. At least way better than old.

1,000,000 miles among 20 vehicles would come to about 50,000 miles per vehicle, so not a very good indicator of what's bound to fail and what is.

My service advisor at Honda told me that tech noticed that break fluid in my vehicle wasn't good and needed to be replaced. Offered me a $130 service to bleed breaks. I declined and told him that I will suck it out of the reservoir(as you have in the video). I did that to power steering fluid however I kept sucking/adding every day for a week and this made fluid clear. Will that work if I do the same with break fluid? Suck the fluid, pour new, drive for a day, then repeat one or twice more?

@AndresGarcia-zf4he
@AndresGarcia-zf4he 3 года назад
Most vehicles about 2-3 years but depends on driving conditions and such. If your car ABS light is on for sure you need new brake oil also pedal problems or if really bad oil you can sometimes smell it (burning). But if nothing seems off you can also just look inside your master and inspect the oil see if it looks dirty (clean brake oil is pretty clear)
