A Change for the Better?
Just Ask Your Brakes

Most motorists don't realize that contaminated
brake fluid creates a dangerous situation.
System should be flushed and fluid changed
periodically.

Changing the many fluids in a vehicle is always a
change for the better. Dirty engine oil, transmission
fluid or anti-freeze are bad news for a car.
But what about brake fluid? Many motorists know
that this fluid should be topped off, but changed?

According to the Car Care Council brake fluid in
the typical vehicle can become contaminated in
two years or less. This is because the fluid absorbs
moisture, which works its way through the
hydraulic system. Under heavy braking conditions,
such as those encountered in mountainous or
hilly driving or when towing a trailer, moisture in
the overheated fluid vaporizes (boiling point of
water is lower than that of brake fluid) and braking
efficiency is reduced.
