Changing brake fluid seems important but yet it's somewhat controversial. Some car makers think it's important and include it in their maintenance schedules and others don't. We think it's important too! Here's some major brands that are on record about changing brake fluid: Mercedes-Benz recommends that brake fluid should be replaced every two years or 20,000 miles and we can't and won't argue with them after all, Mercedes Benz? Would you argue? Chevrolets is on record saying that most of their models can go 150,000 miles or 10 years Subaru recommends fresh brake fluid every 30,000 miles. As for Volkswagen? They state brake fluid should be changed on many of its models every two years while totally ignoring what your mileage is.

In this case, we are urging you to do that because your specific car manufacturer will guide you to how often you should change your filters. Maintenance is "make" specific in that no one knows your vehicle better than its manufacturer. Here's how to get your owner's manual if you missed it when w ... read more
