| Brake Fluid interval | Every 3 yr (Minder item) |
|---|---|
| Model years | 2016-2025 (1.8L / 2.0L NA) |
Why it matters: Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can corrode brake components from the inside. That's why the interval is time-based (years), not mileage-based.
Changing brake fluid means bleeding the system — doable at home with a helper or a one-man bleeder, but most people have a shop do it ($80–150). A moisture test strip can tell you if it's due.
