Like everything else on your car, your brake system will wear out overtime. This includes more than just the pads and rotors. The rubber in the valves in the master cylinder, calipers and wheel cylinders can deteriorate. This can let moisture and debris leak into the system, which will contaminate the brake fluid. The moisture can also cause the parts to rust, which can further gunk up the brake fluid. That’s why we sometimes recommend a brake flush service to our Cincinnati customers. Though some will recommend one every 30,000 miles, it really depends on how contaminated the brake fluid is. We prefer to inspect the brake fluid. If the fluid is light brown and fairly clear, you should be okay. If it’s dark brown, your brake fluid should be changed and the system flushed.
