The brake system in your vehicle performs one of the most vital functions of your vehicle by enabling the driver to bring the vehicle to a complete stop or simply to reduce speed to avoid obstructions on the road. This most important function is achieved with the assistance of brake fluid, or hydraulic fluid. This fluid cannot be compressed and is used through a rather simple system to transfer the power applied by the driver pressing on the brake pedal through the brake caliper and to the brake rotors that manages each of the wheels on your vehicle.
Over time, this fluid can degrade under the extreme heat and pressure that it endures to do its job. Many manufacturers have differing advice on when the brake fluid in their vehicles should be changed out.
