Default Re: Flushing/changing brake fluid

I don't think you will find any one overwhelming consensus of opinion on this subject. If Mercedes recommended to flush brake fluid every year, I would say they were concerned as much about flushing cash from your wallet as fluid from your brake system [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I know the only time I have ever used silicone (DOT-5) brake fluid in a car is on the Hemi Challenger I restored back in the 1980's. The brake pedal always had a very different 'feel' to it in that car, as compared with a car with DOT-3 fluid. Over the years since, I have read about many other people who had similar results.
