Best Answer

If the fluid is more than a couple years old and is dark and nasty looking, suck it out of the master cylinder, pour fresh dry fluid of the correct type in, and bleed all four wheel cylinders/calipers starting with the right rear till the fresh clear fluid comes out. I usually change mine every time I do a 4 wheel brake job, usually every 50-60 k miles. On my motorcycle I flush it out every two years. I have no brake hydraulic problemswith any of my vehicles.

If Prius 2007 need a brake fluid change when should it be done and how often?

If, as you say, it needs doing then it should be done as soon as possible. Brake fluid seldom needs changing though it does degenerate over time, mainly by absorbing moisture. The precise detail will be in your manual. The fluid reservoir needs checking topping up occasionally and certainly will require it after a brake pad change.

How often should you change brake fuild?

brake fluid changes and brake inspections should be done atleast every two years, mainly the brake fluid has a tendancy to soak up moisture in the air and then this accumulated water tends to boil in the lines and calipers and brake cylinders during use, causing air pockets and a degradtion of braking, and can cause a complete loss of brakes at times.
