Trouble is these days I bet most people just put fuel in and don't
do any other maintenance it just goes in for a service every 10,000

they did 30 years ago.
Huh!

Try telling that to Ford who want brake fluid changed at 2 years!

I believe there is a way to test the brake fluid but I'm not entirely
sure what is being tested, oxygen content, acidity?


water content is most important.

water turns to steam in hot brakes. NOT good. it also corrodes
cylinders.

I believe synthetic brake fluid does not absorb water, or little of it.
