Brake Fluid Flush -
It is recommended to change your brake fluid at least once a year but changing it more often will increase performance of your braking system, as well as prolong the life of your parts. With DOT-3 and DOT-4 brake fluids, over time water condenses in the system forming pockets that can be corrosive to parts. As more water enters the brake fluid, the boiling point reduces and eventually cooks at high temperatures turning into gas. When this process takes place in your braking system you may end up with a squishy feeling pedal or no brakes at all. Unlike DOT-3 and DOT-4, DOT-5 brake fluid is more resistant to water and will last much longer.

Fouled injectors may give no overt symptoms, even while they are cutting your mileage and pumping extra pollution into the air. When they get bad enough, they can cause hard starting, hesitation, and loss of power. On a scope, they will show the cylinders out of balance on a power balance test.
