You should change your brake fluid once a year.......Power vacuum bleeding is fast and you can make your own out of a large plastic or glass jar some hose and a vacuum cleaner...
I do that along with power steering fluid and anti freeze. Fred :)
Thats the way to make them last longer..... Also i run close to pure anti freeze
Seriously? I really did not know this! Looks like I have another excuse to get out and work on the Pinto! :D ;)
just remember to keep antifreeze away from the pets and kids. :o :police: ;D

"Also i run close to pure anti freeze" << where do you live? and why would you want to run pure anti freeze? I was always led to believe that anti freeze needs at least to be mixed 60/40. to get the right balance to not gel. or are you running pre-mixed at 100% strength>?
I live on Vancouver island and i run 80/20 and i use prestone pure
I've always run 50/50 from the pre-portioned prestone bottles, is that okay? I've never had any problems with it gelling or anything either.
50/50 is half water, so you will be fine.
Thank you! I was just curious.
Now, does that make my coolant less effective or last less time?
Nope, 50/50 is actually the recommended ratio in most climates
80/20 And I have no gel
