Brake fluid is a powerhouse. When you tap your foot on the brake or slam the pedal down in an emergency, you obviously do not have the strength necessary to stop a heavy vehicle. Your braking system does that because the brake fluid and the braking system amplify the power of your foot press with hydraulics.
In a brake fluid exchange, all the brake fluid is drained from your car, including from the brake fluid reservoir. The brake lines are then flushed to remove any particles, and new Chevrolet-approved braking fluid is added to the appropriate level. If your brake fluid featured excessive pollution or was low due to a leak, further examination may be recommended.
Over time, the brake fluid in your vehicle can become contaminated and lose its effectiveness. Primary sources of a decline in performance include moisture build-up and particles from corrosion within the brake lines appearing in the fluid. Routine checks of your braking fluid can determine if it is of sufficient quality for continued motoring. Brake fluid replacement may also be needed due to it leaking around the lines, calipers or master cylinder. When there is a leak, always pursue a fix for the problem versus regularly adding fluid. A slow leak can quickly become a big one that would limit braking performance in an emergency.
Your maintenance manual specifies the recommended intervals for changing Chevrolet brake fluid. This range can vary from vehicle to vehicle and generally averages 45,000 miles. Always follow the prescribed exchange schedule for the best performance. A regular braking inspection and fluid check may also reveal the need for an exchange.
