Plus, when you change the fluid every so often you make sure the bleeders don't rust in place on the calipers. That's a PITA to fix when when it happens. Not to mention the gunk that builds up in the calipers, master, and ABS when the fluid sits for a decade...

Best one I ever heard, someone said they didnt think they had to check the oil because it was a Mercedes. Whats even better is to listen to people with no mechanical knowledge spouting off erroneous facts like they know what their talking about.

I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time.
