You&#8217;d really want to do it about once a year.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s better to choose brake fluid based on your intended use.<br \/>\nResponsive racing fluid does seem to have a shorter shelf life.<br \/>\nIf you taste it once and say &#8220;hmm, I can&#8217;t really tell the difference,&#8221; then standard DOT4 should be fine.<\/p>\n<p>Highly hygroscopic fluid does deteriorate faster. Since it&#8217;s really troublesome if it goes bad, I&#8217;d recommend choosing based on your use and changing it once a year, or at least every two years.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P1670213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/P1670213.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/P1670213-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/P1670213-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nNot changing the coolant won&#8217;t cause immediate failure.<br \/>\nBut it heats up to just over 100 degrees and cools down repeatedly, and impurities and corrosion seem likely to develop.<\/p>\n<p>If the water pump fails, you can detect engine oil mixing in, so I&#8217;d say using it for about two years is good.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/P1670212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/P1670212.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/P1670212-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/P1670212-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nThe engine oil is also from two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Same face as the Foresight 250?
