Kasi may nakita ako sa isang service shop, na pinalitan lang yong nasa container. Wag lang daw apakan yong brake.

yes sir. the proper way to replace a brake fluid is to first, siphon the brake fluid in the reservoir then fill in a new brake fluid. then bleed from the furthest wheel (Rear Right) to the nearest (Front Left). the brake pedal should not be spongy or lumulubog.

Question lang peeps, when does one do a complete brake overhaul? When does one change the brake fluid?

Replace brake fluid would depend on driving conditions, usually 40t km. Check your car manual for the recommended interval. Complete brake overhaul pag mahina yung brakes at may leak cguro.

kung mag rereplace kyo ng brake fluid better change your fluid narin also use dot 4. way better than dot 3 and mas tatagal lifespan ng pads nyo.

I dont think using DOT 4 would increase the lifespan of brake pads. Boiling point is increased which is better for high performance applications. If the car manual states to use DOT 3 however it is best to stick with DOT 3 brake fluid.
