BRAKE FLUID FLUSH

BRAKE FLUID FLUSH

What it is

• A brake fluid flush removes old, contaminated fluid from your vehicle’s braking system and replaces it with fresh fluid. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture and debris, which reduces braking performance and can cause corrosion in brake lines, calipers, and master cylinder components.

Why it matters

• Safety: Fresh fluid maintains proper hydraulic pressure for reliable braking.

• Corrosion prevention: Moisture-laden fluid accelerates internal corrosion that can lead to costly repairs.

• Consistent pedal feel: Old fluid can cause a spongy or soft brake pedal.

• Longer component life: Clean fluid helps extend the life of master cylinders, ABS components, calipers, and wheel cylinders.

Common signs you need a flush

• Spongy, soft, or sinking brake pedal

• Brake warning light or ABS light on the dash

• Brake fluid looks dark or cloudy at the reservoir

• Noticeable decrease in braking performance

• It’s been more than 2 years or 30,000 miles (manufacturer intervals vary)

What we do during a brake fluid flush

• Inspect brake system for leaks and worn components

• Remove old fluid from the master cylinder and lines

• Use a vacuum or pressure system to flush and replace fluid at each wheel until clean fluid flows

• Bleed brakes to remove air and ensure proper pedal firmness

• Refill reservoir to manufacturer-specified fluid type and level

• Road test to verify performance and check for leaks

Recommended interval

• Typical recommendation: every 2 years or 20,000–30,000 miles, but check your vehicle’s owner manual for the manufacturer’s specific interval.

Brake fluid types

• DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 4+ and DOT 5.1 are glycol-based and commonly used in passenger vehicles.

• DOT 5 is silicone-based and not compatible with glycol fluids; generally used only where specifically required.

• Always use the type specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
