When Last Did You Change Your Brake Fluid? by Piyke: 5:06pm On Sep 06, 2022 |
The car in this video suffered brake failure on account of too much water content in the brake fluid, resulting in what's called vapour lock. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time & it's recommended to change your brake fluid every 2 - 3 years. Depends on manufacturer. When last did you change yours? Your life may depend on it. 2 Likes

kingreign: na real oga him be, I refresh my pads every 2 years and I haven’t brought my thoughts to changing the oil at the same time too. Finally I’ve checked my habits of recent and realize I seriously need to change my brake oil asap When I first poured it in it was bluish but now it’s looking clear It must have ‘belle-full’ from all the moisture it has been absorbing for close to 6 years |

kingreign: Brake fade ke! Abeggi oh The single can I bought and threw into my boot has been there since 4 years now na for topping up and to ‘loosen’ stubborn bolts I dey use am do since. My own brakes function as they are supposed to even after using the same oil for so long but i will still change the fluid to see if I can notice any improvements or changes. |
