![]() ![]() I would not be surprised if you could go 4 or more yrs in a relatively dry environment. Plus a two year interval also allows for brake inspection which could address other issues such as leaking seals. The two year interval is probably excessive but a good catch-all for high road-salt marine environments. I was under the impression with DOT4 fluids and others with a higher boiling point, that two years was about the maximum they would be effective before the moisture levels got too high. It's interesting to hear folks saying the moisture levels were still good after four years. I either have to get the fluid myself and go to our trusty indy mechanic, take a road trip to a BMW indy, or get robbed by the dealership. You talk boiling points with the brake/lube places and you get a blank stare. ![]() If I want something with a higher boiling point for track days, it's a total no-go. I don't know about your area, but around me most brake/oil change places don't carry the DOT4 brake fluid used in many European cars (the parts stores don't stock it either the last time I looked). A fluid change every 2 years seems a tad excessive. Personally I bought a brake fluid tester for about $8 off Amazon. Plus they tend to have the machines to make the job go faster.
