Am I required to bleed/flush the brake fluid?

What is the reason to open the fluid cap? How do we know it's a closed loop system?

Brake system relies on closed loop where hydraulic fluid gets compressed to push a piston that then pushes the pads against the rotors. The c-clamp is used to push the piston back, so it will push the fluid backwards through the system and back into the master cylinders that contains the fluid. Some mechanics will open the cap of the master cylinder to make it easier to push the caliper's piston back. If you do, then air gets in the system and you need to bleed it.
