Flushing the brake fluid is likely what you are referring to.

It basically bleeds the brakes until new brake fluid is in the lines.

I think the Manual says to flush every 3 years but racers do it much more often.

I use a "Power Bleeder" and it adds another couple minutes to the brake job.

I did a Youtube video to show how easy it is. You alternate brake fluid colors and it greatly simplifies the process.

Google "Brake Flush" and you will get plenty of hits.

The Boxster S has 2 bleed valves so you open one to do most of the flush and open the other for a second or 2 after and it will drain the old fluid as well.

Easy when using a Power Bleeder.
