The reason why brake oil needs to be changed periodically.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Brake oil pipes

In this video, we see why - and also how - to change brake oil. In fact, we all know that brake oil, unless there are leaks in the pipes, does not get consumed. So, it begs the question why change it. The answer is simple, because it is a hygroscopic liquid, meaning it absorbs water. In fact, when we subject it to heavy stress, the temperature of the liquid rises above 100°C, vapor forms, and when it cools down, water forms. Since oil is not compressible, the brake pedal becomes "spongy" and doesn't seem to respond well anymore. We must then, with the help of a friend who presses the brake pedal, bleed the oil from each individual wheel and add new oil to the reservoir. This way, we can change all the oil in the circuit.
