I am getting my front and rear brake pads changed by a mechanic who will do it in my garage and just charge for labor. I was wondering if now is a good time to get the brake fluid changed as well - I am at 60k miles and don't think the brake fluid has been replaced before. A couple of questions -
1. What fluid (part #) and how much of it should I purchase?
2. Incrementally, how much more work is it to replace the fluid when changing the brake pads - 10%, 20% etc? Trying to figure out how much more in labor I should be be paying? For reference, I am being charged $160 for replacing both the front and rear pads.
Thanks.
