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.

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?
