Replace Brake Fluid at 20k
#2
Not here and I'm at 24,000mi. I probably won't consider doing this until around 100k, if I haven't grown tired of the Max, and at this point she still seems new and exciting to me. I usually go by time and not miles. The only car I have ever owned that I changed brake fluid in is my '95 Corvette, and she has 65,000miles. Fluid still looked new and she braked just fine. Go figure.

I broke down and had it done by a local brake shop at the 20,000 mile mark. He used a vacuum pump setup to suck out the old fluid and the new fluid in. My bad for not taking pictures of the old fluid as it was a lot darker than I thought it would be. I think it was around sixty bucks or so. With all the plumbing for the automatic braking I thought I would be on the safe side. I didn't flush the fluid in my 2009 Max until around 80,000 miles.
