Brake fluid question

[Rick Courtright]

I never top up my Outback. By the time
the fluid gets to the low mark, it's time
for a brake job and fluid change and bleed.

Hi,

I like to keep my cars' fluids all right up to the "full" mark, but it's
something my therapist has talked with me about...

Despite my obsessions, you're right: the distance between MAX and MIN
marks should just about compensate for pad/shoe wear. If one forgets to
siphon off a "full" reservoir that's feeding worn brakes before changing
'em out, there's gonna be a mess! (Don't ask how I know that, I just
do!)
