Re: brake fluid tester

   Since it would take well over a year for your car to have a high enough
moisure level in the fluid to require attention,and you're already changing
it more often,seems like wasted money from here.You should,however,bleed the
brake calipers after your last school of the season,to remove any possible
burnt fluid for the winter.    "RA"/Bob G.
