I'm confused, are you telling us to finger the wiper fluid hole with our fingers?

The car manual says to do a brake system flush something like every 20,000 miles. What' s everyone's opinion on this very short interval?

I'm at 51k and haven't done it yet. Brakes feel fine.

However I bet they aren't fine

I didn't flush my brakes until 60k. It wasn't a problem, I also have not tracked the car. I rarely engine brake and almost always solely use brakes. I think 20k is to check the fluid level and inspect not a full flush. But I could be wrong.

big up dando! :cheers:

I'll change at 60k

I'm pushing 60K, so I'll need to flush my brake fluid soon. Easier for one person to do: speed bleeders or Motive power bleeder? If using the Motive, do you use the normal method or the dry method?

I'd be so angry if you spilled that nasty water on my engine... urgh so hard to get water marks out after they've settled.
