You should replace brake fluid every few years.

And the best way to find out how often to change brake fluid is to follow your manufacturer’s recommendations. Some manufacturers say you should replace your brake fluid every two years. Others recommend every three years, or every 45,000 miles.

Is it necessary to have brake fluid change?

Regular brake fluid changes are crucial to maintaining a car’s brake system, which includes numerous components connected by hoses and pipes. Over time, debris accumulates in the fluid, reducing its effectiveness, and it absorbs water, causing the brakes to fail.

What happens if you don’t change brake fluid?

If you do not change the brake fluid, the moisture absorbed by the fluid builds up throughout the braking system. As the water content increases, the boiling point of the brake fluid becomes lower. It will cause excessive heating and make the fluid boil, rendering your brakes inefficient.
