Brake Fluid Exchange Service

Overview of Brake Fluid

Brakes are a hydraulic system and in order for the pressure from your foot on the brake pedal to reach the brake, the brake fluid must be the right volume and the right texture in order to work as the hydraulic fluid. Brake fluid can change in texture and volume as it ages and as you use your brakes, it can also change if you have a leak in your brake lines. Taking the time to have your brakes checked can really make a difference in your brakes being able to stop the car when you need it to.

What is a Brake Fluid Exchange all About?

Your brake fluid does need to be changed out on a regular basis according to the routine service schedule of your car. Your brakes are going to need to have the fluid changed out at service intervals like 5,000 miles, 10,000 miles and so on. This has to do with the fact that as brake fluid is used and ages, it can change in texture and it can become less effective and can do less to stop your car. Your brake technician can help you by checking your brakes to see if they do need new fluid and can also help to check the other parts of the brake system.

It is important that you are caring for your brakes and that they have the right amount and type of brake fluid to make sure that the brakes are going to be able to stop the car as needed. Caring for your brakes can help make sure that they are going to last longer, that they are going to stop your car when you want it to stop, and that you are not going to run into issues with the hydraulic fluid.
