They finished the series after running it at least twice and then moved on. They were showing Cowboy Bebop for a while.
You dont have to change the fluid...but you will greatly appreciate changing the fluid and bleeding the system!
I don't think your fluid needs to be changed unless (1) it is really old or (2) if you suspect that you have air in your lines. Performance fluid will only help if you intend to run your brakes to higher temperatures than the factory fluid can handle. Otherwise, I would go with whatever is cheapest. Also make sure to check for compatibility. I run good fluid at all times (ATE Super Blue) and always change it before an event.
Why dont you go ahead and purchase some stainless lines and a higher quality fluid (than stock). That way you can change it all out at once.
I do believe so...I just used the ATE for the first time and I read/heard they have two colors so you know when you get all the old fluid out.
Even with fluid of the same type and color, you can see a difference between old and new fluid, like old and new oil. It must make it really easy with two drastically different colors. Do any other brands do that?
Id imagine any brand who's fluid isnt black will do that. Royal Purple (which is quite purple) actually loses its color as it wears.
