PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you replace brake fluid?
Have your car’s brake fluid replaced usually every 2 years. Your car’s service schedule takes priority.
Brake fluid slowly absorbs moisture. This lowers its boiling point, so the fluid can boil on a long descent. The ANWB writes that replacement according to the service schedule is usually every two years.
- Check the service book for when the brake fluid is due
- Have it replaced by a garage
- Check the level in the reservoir in between
- Keep the invoice with your car documents
