This is the container for the brake fluid. That’s what you should do.

If the level drops, your rear brake pads are worn and have to be changed (by a workshop). The brake fluid must also be exchanged at the latest every two years.

Brake fluid can also remain in it for 8 years, loading can also be changed.

If you don’t even know what the container is for, you should leave your fingers away from the brakes. Of course you can do it yourself… if you know what you do and know what you do. Can’t close the questioner from you, for example!

The first statement is life-threatening. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and with higher load (gear/race distance) brake failure can occur.

I was allowed to experience myself. The workshop also meant that a change was not necessary. That’s all but funny.

Nice… Unfortunately, this is not the case. I am therefore very careful with answers or comments. It’s only right when it comes to safety, here the brakes.

Yeah, look at the water content.

It cannot be determined without changing the brake fluid.

Have experienced that the tester showed 1% in the storage container and then dark brown broth with >4% came out when changing. The customer probably tipped up new liquid and in the lines was the old stuff of 1980.

Sorry, but you really don’t know.
Brake fluid must be changed regularly (max. 2 years). No one in clear mind would leave them in the system for 8 years. Regular measurements also help nothing.
