should also be changed anytime the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum level,
or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is
unknown.

forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the master cylinder fittings and the
brake caliper fittings.
