Default Brake Fluid Change

Just had it done.
Every 2-2.5 years in my vehicles.
How often do you change yours?

Unless you had a problem or got some air in the lines I don't see the need for this.

Condensation = moisture in the brake fluid which can lead to issues.
A inexpensive preventative action.
