How often, or what is the recommend time interval for flushing the brake fluid?

 

"How often to flush?"







If it's first thing in the morning probably twice.







Happy Turkey day.

 

You should do it annually. Brake fliud has a real appetite for moisture which causes corrosion and brake fade under hard braking.. Fluid flush is cheap insurance for expensive brake component repairs (especially with ABS). The maintenance record books in our Mercedes' have a special section to record annual fluid change. I wonder why other manufacturers do not have similar recommendations.

I have used the Eezibleed tool by Gunson for many years. Makes this job a snap.

Once a year is the general requirement. Especially if you have any form of ABS, including rear only. The ABS valves, ports and solenoids corrode or get fouled before anything else in the brake system does.
