Richard,

IIRC, most of the German car owner's manuals recommend changing the brake
fluid every 2 years.

Cheers,

Subject: brake fluid change

What's the current advice on brake fluid
changes?  I ask because after looking very
carefully through the manual for my '01
Jeep Cherokee, I find no mention of ever
changing the brake fluid--auto tranny,
transfer case, front & rear diffs, radiator--
yes, but brake fluid--no mention other than
checking the level.

I have always thought that the brake fluid
should be changed every couple of years or
so because it could absorb moisture.

I drive this Jeep as my daily driver instead of
either of my Vanagons (mandatory Vanagon
content   ;-)
