Sorry had a senior moment,
That is sound advice. Brake fluid is hydrophilic, which means it attracts water. Water, as you know doesn't get along well with metal.
Thanks for the new vocabulary word. I usually use "hygroscopic" (similar) and most often mispronounce it "hydroscopic".
I usually use the word "hydrophallic" which means basically the same thing, but has naughtier connotations.
Scared me!!
I have. It's worth it. The browner the fluid the less it works. I worked at a brake shop for a few years and did several on customers cars. So I decided one weekend to do my old S-10 a break job , new pads, turned rotors and drums and all new fluid. Opened up the rears and used a syringe to push out the old fluid with the new stuff. When clear fluid came out we closed it up and went to the next one. Night and day difference in pedal feel. So I highly recommend it if you drive something with 10 year old break fluid, it might be time
