Brake fluid is crucial for transferring force from the brake pedal to the braking system, maintaining pressure, preventing corrosion, and absorbing heat. It should be replaced:
- Every 10,000KM: To prevent moisture buildup and corrosion.
- When Fluid Appears Dark or Dirty: Indicates contamination and reduced effectiveness.
- If You Notice Brake Performance Issues: Such as a spongy pedal or reduced braking power.
- If Fluid Levels Are Low: Indicates possible leaks or the need for a replacement.
- For Vehicles Over 5 Years Old: Older vehicles may need more frequent brake fluid replacement.
