Hello,

Changing the brake fluid is a recommended maintenance for your vehicle.
Lexus recommends changing the brake fluid out every 30,000 miles.
Just like any other fluid as they get used there are break down in the molecule level of the fluid also it can trap debris overtime as well. Having old fluid can impact the way your vehicle brakes.
So it is a good idea to change the brake fluid at regular interval.
