brake flush

[2late4u]

well  I had some Facebook cash from their settlement from around 10 yrs ago ,,,,untold millions to be paid out and my share was $32.50...so I thought well,I  had to take it on a MasterCard virtual gift card with a bunch of restrictions on how to spend it,,, but thought id invest it in some brake fluid and windshield washer spray fluid,,,wasn't to bad to do except I went to buy a turkey baster and NO ONE had any in stock at over 3 different stores...LOL had to use a medical syringe and a small tubing to remove what I could from the  brake master cylinder  and then removed the wheels just to make it a bit easier to loosen the small plugs and attach a  vinyl tubing to it and drain into a clear catch bottle,I used up the whole quart of brake fluid system only about half a litre( . 5 litre =  . 53 quarts) I had bought 2 quarts and I guess I should have run both of them threw the system but didn't ....the old fluid was fairly dark so I guess 11 yrs it was time,,,,LOL actually this was the first time  I have ever done a flush , I have did bleeds before.....should have done it sooner I guess... So every other oil change I am taking 2 quarts of trans fluid out with a harbor freight fluid pump Thur the dip stick and replacing with 2  Mopar trans fluid quarts,,,, the fluid still looks nice and red BUT just thought I'd try to help it stay that way just turned 176 k on it and had the trans serviced at around 65k and then again at 105 k when I had the plugs and coolant service done as well so I am up to date on most of the maintenance service
