How often do you change your brake oil?

this is the first vehicle I’ve owned that required brake oil. What’s the recommended schedule for changing it?

 

i think they mean brake fluid lol but every 2 years i think is the recommendation

 

I changed brake fluid at 60K (4 yrs) miles when I replaced the front pads. I expect to do it again at 120K.

 

What other vehicles have you owned that didn’t use brake fluid?

 

a tow truck i once drove had air brakes!

 

How hard was it to change the air. Sounds like it could be a large job.

 

All of them use brake fluid. I was just making fun of Toyota for listing it as Brake Oil. This thread isn’t meant to be taken serious.

 

well that was the easy part just step on the brake a bunch of times or pull the airtank release! But occasionally i had to add air dryer fluid which was basically rubbing alcohol

 

All threads are taken seriously

 

Maybe they mixed up brake oil with trans fluid.

Yeah I know it's named automatic transmission fluid but people don't really say transmission fluid, they usually say transmission oil. And I've never heard anyone say brake oil, always brake fluid.

 

Oh.

 

they all have their weird ways of writing things i think volvo calls the brake lines brake pipes

 

I was thinking the same thing, lol.

 

If @Jamesboy2233 had a propeller maybe his taco would have survived.

Maybe that menu was named by a British or Australian guy.

 

I always change mine when I change my blinker fluid. Both of the reservoirs are close together so it’s easier

 

Every 2 or 3 years ?
I have a vehicle that is 22 years old and never seen a brake fluid change. Looks like shi* but going strong as of today.
Never any issues.

 

the only problem with that is brake fluid absorbs water, over time this lowers the boiling point causing brake fade and other problems though it is cheaper...

 

I understand all that but after 22 years I have no issues.
How many people keep a vehicle for 22 years ?

 

I have 3. Well almost
31yrs-71k miles
30yrs-275k
21yrs-35k
All been in family since new. Lol
