One of the most common problems that car mechanics face is a lack of brake fluid. Brake fluid is a vital component of your car’s braking system, and without it your car will not stop. When you need to flush your brake fluid, there are a few things to keep in mind.

When should you do a brake fluid flush?
The answer to this question depends on the make and model of your car. However, most mechanics agree that you should do a brake fluid flush every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you use your brakes. A brake fluid flush removes any rust or build-up from the brake system, which will help keep your brakes functioning properly.
What to do with the old brake fluid
If you have been driving your car for more than 6 months and the brake fluid level has decreased below the minimum line on the dipstick, it is time to flush the brake system. The old brake fluid can corrode metal parts in the braking system and lead to a failure.
How often should you do a brake fluid flush?
Brake fluid is a critical part of your car’s braking system, and it needs to be flushed regularly to keep it working properly. Brake fluid can become contaminated with dust and dirt, which can reduce its effectiveness. Flushing your brake fluid every two years or 30,000 miles is the recommended interval, but it’s always a good idea to check your brake fluid level and flush it if it’s low or if you notice any unusual smells or noises from your brakes.
What to expect during a brake fluid flush
When your brake system needs a fluid flush, you’ll likely experience one or more of the following symptoms:
-Your car will pull to the right when braking
-A “pinging” noise when braking
-A decreased stopping distance
