I know I know. Very cool story. I know it's not a guy excavating a basement with an RC car but I'd never seen brake fluid so bad.
Of course you bleed it when you mess with the master cylinder. Usually it only takes a couple pumps per wheel...I completely bled the whole system this time because it was so bad. It looked like mud.Comment

Can someone please explain to me why anyone should care about the color of their brake fluid? It is just hydraulic fluid? I never quite understood this."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Brake fluid is hydroscopic in other words it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. Generally the darker the fluid is the more moisture it has absorbed.Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View Post
As you get more moisture in brake fluid the boiling point drops. Brand new DOT 3 fluid has a boiling point around 400 degrees IIRC. Moisture laden DOT 3 fluid has a boiling point around 240 I think. If you are driving aggressively on a road track or on a backroads you can quickly boil the fluid if it's wet which generates air bubbles in the system which makes for that spongy brake pedal feel. Not good for brake performance if your driving hard.
