Why is Brake Fluid Important
Brake fluid plays a key role in the braking system and your brakes won't work without it. No brake fluid equals no pressure onto the brake pads which clamp onto your wheels slowing your car down, therefore no braking.
If your brake fluid is of poor quality, it can also affect your braking ability and like other components such as oil, brake fluid loses its effectiveness over time. The fluid can absorb moisture which can lead to corrosion in your hydraulics system and other problems that make your brakes less effective, decreasing your ability to stop.
What's more, rust and debris building up in your brake lines can cause leaks and other problems with your brakes, sometimes causing corrosion which can lead to a more expensive repair.
How often should brake fluid be changed?
It is recommended that your brake fluid is changed every two years or 24,000 miles.
