there is no maintence interval but i still think you should bleed out the fluid if its dark brown or BLACK! There are 2 places to bleed from. I think its pretty easy, juss gotta have another person help you out. On high horsepower cars you can have trouble shifting or bad pedal feel cause the fluid can actaully overheat like brakes
