►Whether you're daily driving your car on the street, or putting in hot laps around the track, fresh brake fluid is a must for optimal braking performance. Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that allows your braking and hydraulic clutch systems to operate. Since brake fluid is hydroscopic, over time it absorbs water. Since water is compressible and evaporates when heated under braking, it is the last thing you want in your braking system.

It is important to regularly flush out your vehicle's brake fluid in order to remove any and all moisture as well as to ensure a fresh supply of "dry" brake fluid in the system. In fact, regular brake fluid changes are one of the simplest ways to ensure long service life out of your ABS hydraulic unit, brake master cylinder, calipers, hoses, and hard lines by reducing internal corrosion. FCP Euro recommends changing your brake fluid yearly under regular usage, and even more often if you track your vehicle.

In this video, Mike Hidalgo is back with his BMW E30 to walk you through the process of a brake flush. The process is similar across most vehicles, following the standard procedure of starting at the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder and ending with the caliper that is closest. Since this car's clutch hydraulic system uses the same brake fluid, Mike shows us how to go bleed the clutch master cylinder as well. This entire process can be done alone when using a tool like the Motive Power Bleeder.
