How Often Should You Have This Service Performed?

An issue with brake fluid exchanges is there is no set schedule for it like there are for other automotive fluids such as your engine oil. Some manufactures advise getting it flushed every 20,000 miles, others every 45,000 miles, some every two years, others every four years, and some manufacturers don’t mention it at all. In general, it’s a good idea to have your brake fluid checked periodically (many Jeep owners have it checked every oil change as a precaution) to ensure it is in good operating condition and to follow the advice of a certified Seguin mechanic.

Signs You Need a Brake Fluid Exchange

If your Jeep’s brake fluid is going bad, there will be signs of reduced performance when driving to work in Garden Ridge. These performance issues can include strange burning smells, noises when you press down on your brake pedal, the brake pedal feeling soft when you press it down, and reduced stopping power. All of these are signs your brake fluid needs replacing, and if ignored, could lead to costly repairs or random brake failure, which puts your safety in danger.

Why Old Brake Fluid Is Dangerous

Your Jeep’s brake fluid serves a vital role in keeping your daily drive to Schertz safe. Brake fluid transmits pressure through your Jeep’s braking system when you press down on the brake pedal, and this pressure is what helps bring your Jeep to a stop. Old brake fluid is dangerous because it loses its ability to transmit pressure, making your brakes unpredictable and unresponsive. Safe braking is sometimes measured in milliseconds, and even a slight decrease in response time can turn a sudden stop into an accident.
