    All of these fluid change intervals are located in your owners manual under maintenance

    Brake fluid naturally takes in moisture from the air and transport this moisture around the brake hydraulic system which is detrimental, fluid should be clear in color and flushed every second year particularly if you live in a wet climate. Power steering fluid should be flushed if it smells burned or has debris in it.
