When to change brake fluid ??

victor328 · 04-29-2010, 01:22 PM

This morning I got a warning saying " brake fluid service is due " My car only has 25 000 km. I find this too soon to change the fluid, I haven't even changed the brakes yet !!! Has this happened to anyone else ??

Yes I got the warning at 30k, go to the dealer they will replace it for free..

My stealership did it when I was in for oil change at 23,000k (third oil change, first free oil change).

usually every two years at latest ... not sure what the mileage interval is.

the maintenance plan covers this though

Thanks guys ! I guess it will be ok to wait till the end of June when I go for the oil change, get them to do it all at once. I guess I should change the fluid in my 2002 C230 !! It's never been changed and it has 130 000 kms !!!! lol
