my civic manual says every 30k to replace the fluid, is it really nessesary? I'm never had a vehicle very long to change it.
The fluid must have been extremely high water content (ie, not properly bled, perhaps never?) to have enough % volume of water to cause the pedal to totally fail. Based on the limited info I have, I would call that an extreme case and not really valid for this discussion (nothing personal of course).quote:

kenw,
A couple of years back a Dodge minivan was driving slowly down a very steep road in a nearby state park. He didn't know to downshift, his brakes got hot, the fluid vaporized, the minivan ran away, hit a kid, and the kid died. This analysis was well documented in the local newspapers during the trial.

FYI, I have just learned on tonight's news that this plane was to carry former Pres. Bush Sr. on a trip today. All three crewmen died. Bush Sr. cancelled his trip.quote:
