In todays world of the high performance cars and the ABS brake systems, its important to change and flush the brake fluid on a routine basis, brake fluid is hygrospic, which means it attracts and absorbs moisture like a magnet, it also becomes contaminated with high copper and magnesium, if left unchecked it will cause premature brake failure, so BG has a new machine out we bought this today, this allows for a complete brake fluid flush. We can replace the entire brake fluid, as well as hydraulic clutch system fluids, the first thing we do is check the fluid with a litmus test.

Today we used my car that has over 50 k on the clock, as you can see below my fluids is way past do showing 300 on scale from zero to to three hundred.

So next you fill the machine with the desired fluid connect the correct adapter and attach the supply line to the master cylinder.

Next you attach the correct bleeder screw adapter, starting at the right rear
you attach a return line to this adapter turn the bleeder screw and all the fluid is pumped through the master cylinder through the ABS unit and out the wheel cylinder and or brake caliper.

After completing this you can then recheck the fluid with a new litmus strip and you can see the results below.

I even pored the old collected fluid out and you can see that below.

We also have the BG oil flush machine as well as the transmission flush machine, these also do a great job.

I did mine at 14k after the 1st owner kept her foot on the brake for the 1st 7500 miles. Where I work, we have a machine at work here that does all for brakes at the same time.

Cobra 25 had his MM done here and has no complaints.

We have done this and it does improve braking and helps prevent pedal fade

No I would go with a shorter interval and use a high quality fluid

Dennis how often should the brake flush be done, I have 13K on my 04 Marauder and what type of fluid should I use, I know this brake flush thing is a good idea, I have an 83 El Camino with 350,000 miles that at the start of spring summer fall and winter I would suck out the fluid in the reservoir and add some new brake fluid, I still have the original brake master cylinder, brake lines and hoses.

I just had this done at Dennis's by ol' DR himself. It only took like 20-30 minutes.

I didn't notice too much at first, other than my brake fluid was UCKY!

After a bit of driving in familiar places I notice:

Less pedal travel.
Higher pedal when braking begins.
Stiffer pedal.
Stronger braking (clamping).

Thanx Dennis.
