It's more important than you think.
Brake fluid is not one of those things that most people think about when we are taking about regular maintenance. Your brake fluid is a vital component in your vehicle stopping properly and when you want it to. Your brake fluid runs your brakes hydraulic system. When you press on the brakes your brake master cylinder sends fluid to your brake caliper or your wheel cylinder to activate and to apply your brakes.
When your brake fluid is dirty it gets contaminated with moisture other wise known as water. That water dilutes your brake fluid and if it becomes to diluted then your brakes will not work properly. In an emergency braking situation it can cause your brake fluid to boil and for your brakes to not work.
If you live in a damp climate then you need to have your brake fluid serviced annually. If you live in a dry climate you can go longer between services. Brake fluid absorbs the moisture in the air around it so when you live somewhere humid or where it rains a lot then those are different factors.
