What does fredoops say: Ditto, however, if you used Super dot 4 instead of dot 3, then you'd want to replace it earlier since Super Dot 4 sucks water.
Brake fluid is probably one of the most neglected fluid to be changed. Bleeding the fluid is not easy, the fluid is corrosive and the system tend to work for a long time.
I am assuming that the problem with brake fluid is the moisture absorbed to the fluid causing corrosion to the brake system.
For the DIYers, would it be better/ easier to test the moisture content of the fluid (say every 2 years)? A tester is about $25 plus shipping.
