Brake Fluid Change Interval
Car: 2001 RX300
Miles driven per year: About 5K
Question: When should I change my brake fluid?
Does anyone have recommendations when I should change my brake fluid if I only drive about 5000 miles per year and the owners manual says to change brake fluid every 30K miles?
If I go by the owners manual, it would take me 5 or 6 years.
Thanks.

Brake fluid should be changed every 2yrs independent of milage.
If you dont use your vehicle, it is more important that you purge and refill
Also try using a fresh can of brake fluid. Half full/empty bottles tend to pick up moisture.

You need to investigate what is the fluid ... most likely it is water ... from rain or ac-condensate. Both have been discussed and search can find those threads for you.
You should also check fluid levels (weekly if not monthly) and a drop in any would indicate a leak.
I think your problem has nothing to do with the brake.
