Flushing Your Car's Brake Fluid
While everyone desires a comfortable, dependable, fast, and well-handling vehicle, we frequently overlook the essential aspect of stopping power provided by our brakes. Your car’s brakes toil as much, or even more than, any other component. How many times have you avoided a potential accident with the aid of your brakes? They are the unsung hero of your car.
To minimize the likelihood of brake failure and the necessity to replace expensive brake components, particularly in ABS systems, which are prevalent in most current vehicles, it is advisable to change the fluid periodically. Nearly all brake fluids tend to absorb moisture from the atmosphere – this cannot be avoided. The moisture accumulation causes rust and corrosion on the internal brake system components. If the moisture concentration reaches a critical point, it may boil, compress, and create an unsafe braking situation. We suggest that the brake fluid should be flushed and replaced every 30,000 miles.
