Let's find out how to replace the brake fluid in our car completely on our own and without the need to go to a workshop. This is what you need to do, after taking some precautions, such as preserving the paint of the bodywork as much as possible, since if it gets dirty with the oil in question, it risks heavy corrosion: unscrew one of the fittings of the pipes of said system from one of the wheels, connect a plastic tube, and pump the brake pedal, allowing the degraded oil to flow out of the circuit and be collected in a special container for disposal.

Reconnect the pipes and pour the new oil into the specific reservoir. Job done.
