Why Is Brake Fluid Exchange Service Necessary?

To understand why brake fluid exchange is necessary, let’s first examine what it does. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake fluid both transfers the force from the pedal to the calipers while also amplifying the force, causing the calipers to squeeze the brake pads against the rotors. You can see how important this fluid is. Brake fluid is a hygroscopic fluid, which means that it attracts water. More water may get into your brake fluid as time goes by, causing it to be less effective. This can put you and your passengers in danger.

How Often Does My Nissan Need a Brake Fluid Exchange?

At Bommarito Nissan Ballwin, we recommend having your brake fluid exchanged once every two years, or every 30,000 miles — whichever comes first. However, you should also have the brake fluid regularly inspected so that our technicians can make sure it’s still in good condition. At Bommarito Nissan Ballwin, we offer a complimentary multi-point inspection with every service, so getting it checked won’t cost you extra!
