OOO tell me what you find out! Im invoved in a bake fluid controversy on another forum and am considering buying one to settle an argument.

I say an opened but resealed container of brake fluid will NOT absorb moisture even after three years!

In a car brake fluid is NOT sealed but its debateable how much water it will absorb. A FoMoCo study found less than 1% water after seven years in its cars.

All right,i bought the brake fluid tester on uobdii, it is so cheap only cost ten dollars, it is chinese clone so i thought if it will cause any damage? But the measurement did not contact directly with the my car, So I'm not worried about that. but anyway, you should be careful using it if you really want to

Use a bit of caution with those: They are often very inaccurate. And you will also want to sample from different areas of the system which is pretty hard to do.

Simply put, $5-10 worth of brake fluid every 2yrs to reduce the chances of calipers seizing is a no-brainer.

yes,u are right. i want to check the savety of the fluid. you know,poor quality of the brake fluid may cause traffic accidents, although this is rarely happened...

it will not cause any damage, i separated the brake fluid from the car, just to check, anyway it is very cheap
