Fluids

[Crackerborn]

In the past, I will usually change brake, clutch, anti-freeze fluids every 2-3 years. Well here is a sample of two year old brake line fluid and the clutch was just as bad with trash in the fluid as well.



From the looks of this fluid, I may start changing the DOT4 fluids every year. I hope this was a bad batch of fluid I used two years ago and not a sign of line problems since I run new fluid through the lines until it is clear again when I change the DOT4 fluids.

I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think any internal problem caused it to change,, just change it out and look at it again in a year or two.

Yeah, I changed out mine too, but then why don't cages need it often?  Looked at the wife's yoda van and still looks fine--changed like once since new, '08.  Curious.

Maybe not as much juice in the Valk?..

Yeah man I wouldn't worry about the color too much just don't let that stuff start to thicken up then you will have some issues
