Amen!

I have only been driving newer vehicles until lately and so I never thought much about brake fluid. When I received my Unimog it had a leaky wheel cylinder. Changed the cylinder and bled the system. The crap in the main bowl was scary! The crap that came out of the lines was UGLY!!!!!!!

Just did the front brakes on my 300CD and again, UGLY!! brake fluid that looks like swamp water. I am starting to wonder if anyone ever changes their brake fluid? (present company excluded, of course).

For all those who have not changed their brake fluid, DO IT!! It is like the old Fram commercial, you either pay me now, or pay me latter. A few bucks of fluid is alot cheaper than wheel cylinders or master cylinders. My unimog wheel cylinder was $200CDN, OUCH!
