Owner reviews for brake fluid

This weekend one of my cars got brakes (all four corners and I mic'd the rotors), and a brake fluid flush. FCP Euro supplied all the parts. ATE (original equipment supplier for Mercedes Benz) rear pads- $20, front pads- $60, ATE fluid $15.

You should be fine if you have kept up with normal maintenance . Some ideas of proactive things you can do.

1. Get your oil changed right before trip - start fresh.

2. Ask your dealer for an “multi point inspection.” My local does not charge. Idea is to make sure belts, fluids, no leaks, brakes all in good shape. Ask if they can specifically check / listen to the water pump.

3. If you have never flushed the brake fluid (replace) ask if you should. The reason to flush/change your brake fluid, isn’t because it “wears out” but because it becomes contaminated with moisture. Usually done every 30K miles.

As a mk7.5 owner, I’ve added ferodo ds2500 pads, slotted rotors, motul rbf 600 fluid and rs3 brake ducts to combat longer track sessions.

Tesla recommends the following maintenance items and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency of your Model 3. Brake fluid health check every 4 years (replace if necessary).

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which is to say it absorbs water from the atmosphere (even in a brake system's closed reservoir). So it does not last indefinitely even with limited use. Brake fluid flushes have to be taken care of periodically, then.

I don\u2019t know about other EVs, but Tesla recommends the following maintenance for the Model 3: Brake fluid health check every 4 years (replace if necessary).

Here\u2019s the Tesla Model Y: brake fluid every 4 years, some filters and tire rotations. Pretty minimal.

Motul RBF600/660 brake fluid. If it’s good enough for my race cars it’s good enough for my bikes. 600 degree dry boiling point and half the price.

It is recommended to change break fluid ever 2 years, I do it on my m3 that often.

I have been running Super Blue in mine since last fall. Just recently I have developed a squeaky clutch pedal. I thought is was just because the car was getting older.
