I think climate also. Living in a dry climate (Arizona). I believe fluid will last longer than those who live in a humid environment. I didn't bleed my brakes for over 7 years, and the old fluid still looked pretty good and brake feel was still good. And YES - I know I waited much too long

I just did mine on my "FWY Queen" for the first time...
My color was not dark at all, but its nice to have fresh liquid gold fluid in there..

The reason the fluid is hygroscopic is to prevent internal corrosion. Internal corrosion could cause catastrophic failure, and it will fail at the moment you need it most because that's when you put the highest stress on the system.

The oem pads are beveled or angled that way out of the box !!!! Just got a fresh set . At least the uneven thing is solved . Now on to why they go in 6k

YUP !!! Im going to destroy what little I have left on the current pads and then going to order a fresh set of Yokohama AD08Rs, do new pads , and a new windshield for the Summer.
I hope this info with the pics makes you feel a little better about the weird angle thing. Not sure why they are going so fast though but rest assured the angle is normal. I think its odd that the dealer wants them replaced at 4mm when they are like maybe 8-10mm. Im going to run them down to 3mm and then replace. They are squeaky as hell right now.
