Tsquared Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The brake system is a closed system, the only way you can get contaminates into it is by opening it up. The boiling point of the brake fluid has probably diminished over the 30K miles. The real question is there a problem with your brakes? My 05 has ceramic brakes and I expect the front brakes to last at least 50 to 60K. If you feel that the pedal is soft or has a lot of play then it would be a good idea to purge the fluid - I would note the level of the fluid and try to keep it at the same level for a fluid replacement. For me, I purge the fluid when I relplace the pads. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
