Brake Fluid Flush

A brake fluid flush replaces the old, moisture-laden fluid in your brake system with fresh fluid. Done on schedule, it keeps the pedal firm and braking reliable, and protects the lines and calipers from internal corrosion.

Common causes

  • Manufacturer service interval reached (often every 2-3 years)
  • Soft or spongy brake pedal from moisture in the fluid
  • Brake fluid looks dark or dirty instead of clear
  • Recent brake repair that let air into the lines
  • Humid climate, which speeds up moisture absorption

Frequently asked questions

How often should brake fluid be flushed?

Most manufacturers recommend every 2-3 years or per your service schedule, since brake fluid absorbs moisture over time even if you barely drive.

What happens if I never flush my brake fluid?

Old fluid absorbs water, which lowers its boiling point and can cause a soft pedal or brake fade — and the moisture corrodes the system from the inside.
