Why Does My Ford Need a Brake Fluid Exchange?

Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that’s absolutely crucial in keeping your braking system working properly. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake fluid both transfers and amplifies the force of your foot, allowing the calipers to squeeze the brake pads against the rotors quickly and powerfully. But brake fluid doesn’t last forever. It’s what’s known as a hygroscopic fluid, which means that it attracts water. If enough water enters into the brake fluid, it won’t be as effective. As a result, it may take longer for you to come to a stop. We don’t have to tell you how dangerous this is! To keep this from happening, you should have the brake fluid replaced regularly.

How Often Is a Brake Fluid Exchange Needed?

The time between brake fluid exchanges will be different based on a number of factors. Your owner’s manual may include an interval in its maintenance schedule, but some Ford models don’t. Instead, the manual simply instructs you to have the brake fluid inspected regularly. If the technicians see that the brake fluid is no longer in the best condition, they can exchange it then. If you’d like to get a clearer schedule, our service advisors will be glad to help.
