How often to Change Brake Fluid

[millsjq]

The owner's manual contradicts itself: The 1st paragraph of service periods states " brake fluid is renewed every 12 months" then one page later under the chart with three columns shows Every 2 years to renew brake/clutch fluid.

I could not tell if the fluid in my 09 Vantage was flushed during the 1st year service conducted 6 months ago or not so I did it just in case.

Rick, Thanks again for providing expert information. The reason I asked is that I just finished flushing 2 ltr of Castol response (hard to get in US!) and the fluid that came out was the cleanest I have ever seen. Usually the fluid is somewhat darker and some indication of contaimination. I bought the car from a dealer in Dec who performed the one year service and wondered if they flushed the system. Better safe then sorry.

My previous cars, Porsche 993, 997, Acura etc. The fluid after 2 years is somewhat darker (than the new fluid) and often show some sign of moisture.
