Brake Fluid Flush

I've looked thru the old posts regarding flushing brake fluid and didn't find any specifics about it, so am posting this. Also, couldn't find much about it in the owner's manual.

So, when should brake fluid be replaced/flushed?

I just replaced the brake pads and had rotors turned at 108,000 miles. Occurred to me that maybe I should have fluid flushed now too?

When it gets dark, 100,000 is probably good.

Lots of cars never have it done.

It's a matter of brake fluid being hydrophyllic, it absorbs water from the atmosphere. And getting cooked.

Can't hurt to flush it, at 100,000 miles.

I just had rotors replaced and new pads on my 2007, and had a fluid flush at the same time. Car has 57,000 on the clock, but another 20K towed behind our motorhome, which uses the cars brakes too.
