How frequent do you need to change....

[ekam]

Every 2 years or more frequently if you track.

No clue how people don't change their coolant/brake fluids/tranny fluid/engine oil.

Thanks all for the replies. Assuming everything okay with the brakes how long does it take for the diy guy to do the job so then I would know how much the indy shop would charge?

Flat rate for this (from Mitchell OnDemand) is 0.8 hrs. It usually takes me about 1.25 hrs because I also do the clutch. I use a Motive bleeder and it's paid for itself with all the brake flushes I've done (4 on my wife's MB E320, 3 on my Box, 1 on our Subie Forester)

The motive bleeder really makes it easy. I do all mine every 2 years and they usually have enough moisture that it is worth it to do. I alternate fluid colors every other year which makes it easy to tell when the old is all out.
