Brake fluid change

Category: Mechanical repair & servicing

Also known as: brake fluid, brake bleeding, cambio de líquido de frenos, purga de frenos, DOT 4

Draining the old brake fluid, refilling with fresh DOT fluid of the correct grade and bleeding every wheel so the pedal or lever feels firm again. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, so manufacturers ask for a change every two years or so; pads and discs are listed separately.
