2. It is normal for brake fluid to go below normal from time to time: Brake fluid should go below normal as brake pads wear off. The above point is not a misconception. It is only abnormal for the brake fluid level to go down within a short time especially if the short time is not corresponding to brake pad wear or if it goes below minimum level. Best times to top off brake fluid is 1. after installing new pads and the level after bleeding is below the top level 2. When fluid level is below the minimum level. If i am to top it at this level, i will investigate a leak first. I will also not top to max level if my pads are not newly installed. Brake systems dont easily fail, a look at the fluid level weekly is enough to rest your mind. There are no parts to service. Most cars have installed warnings for worn out pad. 2003-7 Accord will constantly squeal miles before you have metal to disc contact. You wont ever miss it if the brake pad is good. Brake failure is mostly due to 1. Bad replacement parts such as brake pads and master cylinder 2. Overheating due to over braking, brake binding etc 3. Loss of vacuum from engine shutdown 4. Leak from busted pipes or seals 1 and 2 are the responsibility of the driver while 3 and 4 are not serviceable. It means my entire list is not serviceable. You can only know from how the brakes feels if there is something wrong or not. |
