Each of the fluids in your automobile have different properties. These fluids use different combinations of chemicals in order to perform different functions. Unfortunately, brake fluid tends to be hygroscopic, which can be a problem. Hygroscopic means to "absorb water." Therefore, because brake fluid is hygroscopic, it will tend to absorb water and moisture. What does this mean?

It means that brake fluid flushing should be done every 30,000 miles or so to remove the moisture. If there is excess water in the brake fluid, it will lower the boiling point. When you press the brake pedal, a low boiling point might lead to your fluid vaporizing. This could reduce functionality. Brake fluid is great for stopping your car. With any liquid, there are pluses and minuses. Make sure to flush your brake fluid when it is time. You can bring your car into our dealership for brake fluid flushing.
