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's the only real way to do it.
How do you change the brake fluid in your car?
Steal your mother'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'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
