Today’s braking systems are expensive – some parts cost thousands of dollars, not including labour. Changing your brake fluid protects this investment.
The most accurate answer is as often as your owner’s manual suggests. Some manufacturers recommend new brake fluid as often as every two years. You also need to change your brake fluid if it contains too much copper. Copper is measured in parts per million, and the industry-accepted limit is 200 ppm.
