I only have about 41,000 miles on my 2000 SVT, but for about 10 years now, I've made it a practice to *suck-out* my brake fluid and my P/S fluids with every oil change, topping them off with new fluid.


Not as good a practice as you may think.

Everytime you open the brake system you allow moisture in. That is VERY bad. You are much better off flushing it 100% once a year and leaving it Sealed for the entire year in between.

Also everytime you add fluid it should be from an new unopened container. No matter hard tightly you seal up old fluid it still absorbs moisture (both from initial opening and from sitting) and ruins the fluid.
New fluid is always a must!

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
