How Often Do You Need a Brake Flush Service?
Do you really need to flush your brakes? That depends. Many will recommend flushing your brakes every 30,000 miles, but there really is no hard and fast rule. In theory, brake fluid acts in an enclosed system, and if everything works perfectly, should last the lifetime of the car. But when it comes to mechanical work, how often do things work out absolutely perfect? Yep, in your dreams. Brake fluid will naturally get dirty as the brake components wear down. So really, it’s best to have the brake fluid inspected periodically. If it’s a clear color, you’re in the clear so to speak. If it’s dark brown, time to flush, no pun intended.
