I just changed mine. It had been in there since I did some major brake work in 2005. It came out a little dark, but not milky, and I live in a pretty dry area. Also, the fluid level went down while I had the car in storage for a year, and got a little air in the system. Now my normal pedal and "hand of God" brakes are functioning as they should. I used the vacuum pump with brake bleeder accessories that I got from Harbor Freight for like 5 bucks. Easy day.

Now I just need to change my power steering fluid and filter, air filter (surprisingly dirty after only 8000 miles), fix my dash lights, climate control, vacuum locks...
