QUOTE(LA773 @ Jul 27 2022, 07:39 AM) Ohh ok I normally change every 4-5 yrs, too long? Most manufacturers would recommend 2 yrs, but i think not necessarily so frequent la Touch wood, so far no problem Anually should be best ekceli. flushing brake fluid isn't that hard to do ownself. Newer cars are harder though, you need to connect to a computer to do it properly (contis) dunno about japs |

QUOTE(dares @ Jul 27 2022, 10:22 AM) Using computer makes it easier, but not compulsory. You can still do it manually if needed. It's just manufacturer wanting to standardize the process so service centers can just plug the car in and the software does the rest. if you want to bleed the abs pump as well need the ob2 comp tho |

QUOTE(LA773 @ Jul 27 2022, 06:07 PM) Ic Means standard should be 2 yrs, then 3yrs or so should be ok since manufacturers service centre usually ask to service more frequently to make more money Somehow the centre i go, so nice dint request to change, but maybe cause low mileage usage Brakes aren't not just mileage lah they absorbed water from the air and decreases it's boiling point. Also, if you don't bleed it annually, might cause the brakes to be abit spongy bleeding=/=fluid flush |

QUOTE(scoupe @ Jul 28 2022, 09:14 AM) i change mine every year.. simply because i drive hard alot and i do not want moisture in the system for too long. Thats how rust forms and brake caliper seizing happens Happen to me months ago, not the seizing issue but the bleeder valve got clogged by rust |

QUOTE(amduser @ Jul 28 2022, 01:48 PM) hitting the rated dry temp will deteriorate the fluid more than moisture, moisture absorption happen overtime and i cant really tell if higher DOT absorb faster or slower, i usually will change it when i feel spongy pedal since i frequently went racing with my car this is why racing brake fluid has higher rated dry and wet temp, because it is the heat that kill the fluid and it can go as worst as pedal to the floor and the car barely stopping even though the brake pad still thick and not overheat yet Your pads plays a role as well since they're cooking with racing |

QUOTE(LA773 @ Jul 28 2022, 05:25 PM) Side topic, how bout steering fluid? Mine all oils i change during major service, thats 4-5 yrs So, easy for me to remember But recently seems like many oil or fluid stuff change , tends to be recommended more frequently than wat i practice I inspect every month, It depends what car your drive also. New would be clear, but some car uses ATF as steering fluid. If it starts clear, I would replace when its darkish or 2 years If it starts red, same as above actually |

QUOTE(blek @ Nov 7 2023, 07:31 AM) thats sad, so bosch premium price doesnt increase brake performance? Ror RtK la Try Trestor Advantage blue abit pricey but still cheaper than japanese ori Stay away from Thai ori. For hongda it's shitty Other than that original akebono's are good and worth the price This post has been edited by rtk74: Nov 7 2023, 04:49 PM |

QUOTE(BoonieTan @ Mar 25 2024, 10:40 AM) What would be a good brake system for Axia? Wanted something that's more sensitive than the stock brake. Shorter braking distance. If you want, you can replace stock calipers |
