Brake fluid replacement: when, how, and if not?

Brake fluid, which we usually call brake oil, has a maintenance interval of about two years. It is very important to change the brake fluid regularly and be careful when choosing the brake fluid. If the brake fluid is poor, it will rot the plugs of the brake pump and have an effect on the braking effect, so if you run out of brake fluid, it is best to go to a specialist store to buy the original brake fluid, not to save money. The original brake fluid is very effective and can also extend the service life of the brake system.
