Brake Fluid maintenance?

[jchadwell]

What’s your recommendation?

Pick up a fluid tester from Amazon and change it out when some water absorption is indicated. I’ve never had to change brake fluid on any of my daily drivers. All of them have gone 150,000 or more miles and 5-7 years. The factory schedule for my current daily says every 5 years.

The Supra is now a little more than three years old but I only average about 4-5000 miles and 10-12 autocrosses per year so I don’t really plan to change it until maybe next year when I put it away for winter. Or maybe at year 5. I’m not doing track days any longer so I’m not really concerned.

Ok, so not following factory recommendations and berating people who also don’t follow recommendations but err on the more frequent side. And assuming you know more than they do. Got it.

Change it every 12-15 miles change unless you track. $175 at the dealership. Easy Peezy. Which

$175 at the dealership and an open ended cost for the problems they create in doing it
