The lifetime warranty parts and term limited ones get replace often - not at any cost tome though.
But ya know what? The car isn't busted and keeping me from going to work or living my life. |

but i agree with your error, weve never changed the fluid on some of our cars and have never had a caliber sieze. only ones that were siezed was because they sat for years. when they do its from outside moisture in the air going around the piston and sliding surfaces not from moisture in the fluid...(just like rotors and drums rust over) that and i believe the brake system is a closed system.... |
On the issue of tune ups, I have run many sets of Bosch platinum plugs over 100,000 miles and they weren't missing when I changed them, but just thought it would be a good idea to get new ones in. Even when running the plugs that long I didn't see any decrease in FE.

If the transmission leaks seriously enough that additional fluid is necessary, there will be clues, like those little oil spots all over the back of your vehicle. By the way; leave the back down and roll up the sides. It's cleaner. As to no dipstick on the Toyota; I have not checked but I'd guess there is a clever little sensor that turns on a dashboard light, like there is for the engine oil, when the level gets dangerously low. VetteOwner Check the filler cap carefully. All caps I've seen have a complicated valving system to allow air to enter as the fluid level goes down as the brakes are applied. |

Plugs are cheap and doesn't take long to do, and it is real easy to do on an explorer, and you will be glad you did it. Just my opinion. |

it cannot be vented, if it were it would attract moisture and be water in a year. That's why they say to never use old brake fluid if its been opened before or if its sat with the cap off it for a long time. |

I've heard from the likes of Junior Damato and Click and Clack, that brake fluid should, ideally, be replaced every so-often. |
Yeah, not flushing the brake fluid seriously screwed up the ABS system on my mom's old Century wagon. If my memory serves correct we had to replace all the ABS sensors and the master cylinder to fix the problem.

Flushing them where you haven't done that for oh...10 years or so is not a good idea - the bits of rubber hoses can clog up calipers pretty damn good. |
