2021 Pilot A17 maintenance... replace brake fluid really?
Hi all. I have a 21 pilot black edition. Im at 40 k miles. I have a A17 maintenance alert.
do i really need to replace the brake fluid??? If so, does anyone have a video or instructions on it?? Im guessing i will just empty the reserevor then bleed all 4 calipers...(seems kinda early to do this)... just looking for input
thx!!

After a certain amount of time, the brake fluid, after it has had time to absorb water, needs to be changed. The water can cause corrosion of certain brake parts. It can be done thru brake bleeding each of the caliper the calipers until the fluid comes out clear. Make sure to never let the brake fluid reservoir go empty. If it does then air can get into the system and cause more issues. Personally, I wait about three to four years before changing brake fluid. and oil change about every 6 months regardless of miles driven. I only drive about 6k miles per year. And tranny fluid whenever I change the brake fluid. Which reminds me I need to change the coolant soon.
