How do you change the brake fluid in your car?

my brake fluid is looking a little dirty, does the break fluid need to be changed out ever so often or is it something I dont need to change, just keep it filled?|||Get a repair manual for your car. That%26#039;s the only real way to do it.|||Steal your mother%26#039;s turkey baster out of the kitchen and suck some fluid out of the master cylinder. Then top off with new fluid. The next time you have a major brake problem, have them bleed the brakes.|||When you put new brakes on you should %26quot;bleed%26quot; the brakes. this refers to adding fluid while pressing the brakes to flush out the old fluid. Bleed your brakes until you get the black gunk out.|||well mate this isn%26#039;t easy even us mechanics hate it the fluid is crappy n not nice stuff but if you insist get a Friend to help top reservoir up then start at the brake farest away from the master cylinder.. then using the correct spanner n some wd40.(be careful these snap easy and also round off!!) get the Friend to pump the pedal 3-4times the say..down (he will then hold his foot flat to the floor the u release the nipple.wait for all the pressure to go then tighten it back up..then tell Friend off..to release pedal...repeat until satisfied on all 4 corners of the car.. hope you got all that...





but its much easier to get the garage to do it..|||this is not something you do yourself. take your car to a reputable brake shop and have them %26quot;pressure bleed your system%26quot; . this will eliminate dirty fluid plus all air that may be in the system, which if you have dirty fluid, their probably is air present. good luck
