I too, think you can get by on longer schedules...in fact, I have. I've gone 3 yrs. without a flush, but do I recommend it? No, because your brake pedal begins to feel squishy. If you're not going to use the car in a spirited fashion, I think it's fine for light use to just do it at a longer interval. To me, it is a pain in the arse to get it done because you have to jack the car up, get the wheels off, etc., etc.,... And you do have to make sure you don't spill it, because brake fluid is some nasty stuff.

Again, I don't recommend waiting longer than the 2 yrs min. recommendation, but I do know a lot of people don't ever get their brake fluid changed, and don't even know that this is a regularly scheduled item to replace.
