Not as good a practice as you may think.



Clear as water, brakes don't fade, no brake warning light, no ABS codes.

Everytime you open the brake system you allow moisture in. That is VERY bad.



Yes, during a rain storm...or w/ 25% humidity...our shop has central heating and air...and the process takes just a few moments.

You are much better off flushing it 100% once a year and leaving it Sealed for the entire year in between.



My method works for me...done it about 14 times, so far...looks sweet.

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!



Don't assume that I don't open up a brand new bottle, for myself, every single time.
