DIY Brake Oil Replacement Guide

Model: Subaru Impreza MK 2 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake fluid

Follow these steps to perform a straightforward task that requires attention and precision.
Lift the car with a jack and remove a wheel. Open the bonnet, unscrew the brake fluid reservoir cap, and using a pump, as shown in the video, extract as much fluid as possible. Carefully pour it into a container, ensuring not to spill any.
Next, pour in the new brake fluid, taking care not to exceed the level, and proceed to bleed the remaining old fluid from the system.
According to the sequence recommended in your car's maintenance manual, start bleeding the fluid from the brake calipers of each wheel. For this operation, you will need another person inside the cabin who, while you unscrew the bolt on the caliper, presses the brake pedal simultaneously until all the dark old fluid has been expelled.
Once the operation is complete, check the fluid level and top it up with the new fluid.
