Essential Brake Fluid Guide

Why Brake Fluid Matters

The safety of your brakes relies on brake fluid, which can deteriorate over time, affecting performance.

Signs Your Brake Fluid Needs Attention

• Mushy brake pedal: If your pedal feels less responsive, contaminated fluid could be the issue.
• ABS warning light : Modern vehicles may alert you when brake fluid is low or compromised.
• Inconsistent braking: Delays or inconsistencies in braking suggest a need for inspection.
• Dark or dirty fluid : Healthy brake fluid is typically clear or light yellow; dark fluid signals contamination.

When to Change Your Brake Fluid

Replace brake fluid every 2-3 years or 30,000 miles, but driving conditions may alter this.

Professional vs. At-Home Brake Fluid Service

Checking fluid levels is simple, but replacement needs professional bleeding.
