Not trying to start a war...
Disclaimer: I change the brake fluid in my Box every 2 years.

Last week, we purchased a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for my wife. 2L turbo (about same HP as my 2000 Box S!).

I was leafing though the 614 page owner manual last night and when I got to the maintenance section, services were included through 150K miles. At no point was there a mention of brake fluid flush. Lot of service points included checking brake fluid level.

I know that the two cars and their potential use is quite different but both use DOT 3 Brake fluid.

It's interesting that one manufacturer is so different. Given my motive bleeder, and my intent to hopefully use this vehicle for 10+ years, it will receive brake fluid flushes at the same interval as the Box.
