After completing the work, I took the bike out for a 300 km ride. The improvement was immediately noticeable—the brake bite was sharper, and the spongy lever feel was completely gone.
Brake fluid replacement is based on time and mileage, usually every 2-3 years OR every 30,000-45,000 miles. This is because brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. So, yeah, you might need your brake fluid replaced given the age of your car.
I bought a used Black 2021 Platinum AWD SIENNA with every option and added a trailer hitch 2years ago 50k miles out the door $48,996 I have 180k miles now absolutely no problems. Changed oil, air, hybrid, cabin filters, tires, Brake Fluid. Brakes still 70%. No problems.
If you havent had anything beyond an oil and oil filter changed in 5 years then you're definitely overdue air, fuel and cabin filters. But the main thing is the full brake fluid change, if you leave it too long then your brakes can potentially boil when you must need them.
LIQUI Molly DOT 5.1 brake fluid - this is a must as 5.1 has a higher boiling point making it ideal for track use and sportier riding. This doesn’t allow the brakes to become spongy after repeated use.
Brake fluid is an important one that you won’t see any immediate changes if left neglected, but over time can get very very expensive (and dangerous) if enough moisture absorbs into your fluid (brake fluid absorbs water over time even through the reservoir cap).
From my experience it was our old Model S. Changed wiper blades,washer fluids,air in the tyres and one brake fluid flush in our 2 years of ownership.
Brake fluid flush?
Bosch brake fluid seems to work well enough.
Claim refund for this order from amazon. I had gotten same liqui moly expired bottle and contacted liqui moly support. They said not to use expired brake fluid.
