i get that bleeding your brakes makes them safer, and by refreshing the fluid you remove moisture that can boil and cause corrosion.
but why do they feel and perform better with fresh fluid? I'm assuming my cars were properly bled the prior times, so I'm not removing air, just replacing the fluid. but for two of my cars, I couldn't engage abs in the dry until I put in fresh fluid.
why is that? I thought fluids weren't compressible. even if the entire line was filled with water, shouldn't it perform the same as brake fluid at low temps?
