[Re: The_Rusty_Gear] #994652 04/22/10 11:19 PM Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 3,748 Chapel Hill, NC Dandeman Toyota Moderator Brake fluid is hydroscopic.. meaning it will absorb moisture.. Moisture causes corrosion especially wheel cylinders, which in turn causes seal failures and leaks.. Since I've been flushing new brake fluid through the system every 2 years, have not had any brake component or seal failure.. Before that, used to have them every so often. 2000 4Runner,V6,Auto,31's, Sliders, Skids, On-Board Air, Air Shocks Related Interests: Welding, Ham Radio, Road Tripping (Blue Highways), High End Video/Audio Systems Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Parked for 2 years, fluids OK?
