Wayne, When you think of it, changing brake fluid is makes more sense than changing anti-freeze. I had a friend who was a medic in Korea. He told me they used to change the brake fluid in their vehicles annually. He did the same to his own vehicles after the war. Brake fluid is alcohol based and absorbs water; most of us have seen the sludge that builds up in the brake cylinders after a few years. Whenever I have to drain anti-freeze, I save it. After a couple of months, all the sediment falls to the bottom and the anti-freeze looks good as new. Not to say there might not be some unwanted acids in it. I use it to top off my tractor radiators. When I do install new anti-freeze, I always mix it 50/50 with distilled water.
