What is mind blowing is the countless cars and trucks on the road today that have NEVER had a brake fluid flush. Mainly they'll get a bleed when getting new brakes installed, but never a complete flush. There's a lot of very nasty looking brake fluid out there....

I've often wondered about that myself. I know my VW GTI calls for a brake fluid flush every 3 years. It's a 2013 and I've had it done twice.Originally Posted by willtill
True, but braking system failures are virtually unheard of, so those systems must be very tolerant of poor maintenance, or none at all. To some degree brake fluid isn't unlike motor oil and air filters, which can look ugly and still do a good job.
