What is brake fluid and why should I flush it?
Brake fluid is a liquid that helps to stop the wheels from locking up when you brake. Over time, brake fluid can become dirty and thick, which can cause the brakes to work less effectively.
In order to help prevent this, it is important to flush your brake fluid every few years. Flushing your brake fluid will rid the system of any build-up and make the brakes work more effectively. You can do this by taking your car to a mechanic or by following the steps below:
1. Park your car in a safe place
2. Turn off the engine
3. Remove the front wheel
4. Remove the cap from the reservoir that holds brake fluid
5. Pour enough brake fluid into the reservoir to cover the bottom of the cap
6. Replace the cap and wheel
7. Turn on the engine and check to see if the brakes work better
