Brake fluid is a HOT
topic because most people do not know why it should be changed. Did you know the average motorist who drives 10,000 to 15,000 miles a year uses his/her brakes about 75,000 times a year? Did you know that nearly half of all motorists in a recent Car Care Council survey said brake failure
was their #1 fear
amongst driving emergencies? So consider this: after three years of service, the average boiling point of the brake fluid has dropped to a potentially dangerous level because of moisture
contamination and may not meet minimum federal requirements for brake fluid.
Probably half of all cars & light trucks that are 10 or more years old in the U.S. have never had their brake fluid changed. Yet in many European countries, regular brake fluid checks are required, and half of all cars routinely fail such tests. That is a good case for changing the brake fluid.
