Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - Bleeding brakes question for the brake gurus...

Some car manufacturers recommend changing the brake fluid periodically, such as every 24-months. I assume that recommendation is made because DOT 3 & 4 brake fluids absorb water which in turn can rust things. But I don't see any recommendation to do so in Toyota's MR2 maintenance or owner's manuals. Any opinions on whether or not it is advisable to change the brake fluid in an MR2 on a periodic basis? t?
