Read on to learn more about when and why you’ll need your brake fluid changed.


Why Is Replacing Brake Fluid Important?

Importance of Changing Break FluidBrake fluid is crucial to the safety of your vehicle since it helps keep all the moving parts lubricated and functioning properly. Over time, the braking process generates heat, which can wear away your brakes and produce debris, gunk, and dirt.

When you flush that out and replace it with fresh, clean fluid, you ensure that you won’t have to worry about major depreciation repairs down the road. You’ll also feel safe and secure when you’re out and about.


Brake Fluid Service Schedule

For the typical driver, your brake fluid should be flushed and replaced every 30,000 miles, which is about every two years. You can get it done at your yearly inspection when you’re getting your engine oil and filter changed.

If you drive long distances regularly or through harsh conditions, like snow, dirt, and ice, you’ll need your brake fluid replaced more frequently.
