Probably the most ignored fluid in the car — and the most important — is the brake fluid. Brake fluid is not a petroleum-based product, so it does absorb moisture from the air. This diminishes its effectiveness and lowers braking performance. Sludge will also build up over a period of time, blocking the valves inside anti-lock brake (ABS) units and resulting in costly repairs or replacement. In addition, this sludge may cause calipers and wheel cylinders to leak, also resulting in repairs or replacement. Experts recommend having the brake fluid flushed and refilled periodically, although manufacturer recommendations vary as to how often. Dont take a chance - have your brake fluid serviced regularly!
