ChiefGunner Posted April 20, 2018 #51 Posted April 20, 2018 I'm not an expert either but I would recommend replacing the stock bleeders on the brakes and clutch with speed bleeders. Sure makes flushing easier. If you are careful and quick enough not much fluid comes out while installing the speed bleeders. Be sure to protect everything you don't want fluid on. It is recommended to flush every two years. I did mine two years after it was sold new (bought in 2015 but it is a 2012) and it looked like coffee with a little creamer in it. On my '91 I used to bleed and FLUSH the lines whenever I noticed the fluid starting to darken at all. For me that ended up being about 7-8 months. Since its the heat that causes the discoloration and fluid breakdown, hotter locations will darken faster. Also, Getting one of those "speed bleeder" kits is a real blessing. Makes the job so much easier. Make sure you have ALL the surround area of the reservoirs covered with towels to protect it. I don't need to tell you what brake & clutch fluid do to paint!
