brake fluid change 30k
i will be at 30k miles in a few months. The service manual says to replace the brake fluid at 30k. I'd like to do this myself to avoid getting $crewed by the dealership. Are there instructions floating around that I can see? Does anyone have helpful advice about the procedure?
