Brake fluid absorbs water (hygroscopic), and should be replaced as per the manual instructions, typically every 2 years along with all "brake like" (hydraulic fluid), i.e. clutch. It's cheap insurance to maintain the cylinders and lines free of rust, you'll be glad you did in the long run...
Why Change Brake Fluid?
So consider this: After three years of service, the average boiling point of the brake fluid has dropped to a potentially dangerous level because of moisture contamination and may not meet minimum federal requirements for brake fluid.
i think the manual does say replace every 3 years. Brake fluid absorbs water like a sponge, and it wont look brand new after a few years, with the ABS pump i am FOR SURE changing mine, More religously that i do on cars without the ABS pump.
From the 2017 Micra manual. Every 32,000 kms or 2 years for normal conditions
Attachment 4112
Under severe conditions it should be changed more often.
so its still under warranty and they are going to do it for free, right??
Maintenance is not without cost... here in Mexico anyway.
well then, guess it's a good thing, and timing that, I was planning to get stainless lines lol
