Compare Nissan brake fluid change quotes from specialist garages

Nissan is one of the most popular car makers in the world, but few people know it also used to make spacecraft engines. The Lambda 4S-5, an experimental carrier rocket, was developed by Nissan; in 1970, it launched Japan's first satellite into space. Over the years, the brand has bolstered its success by entering a strategic alliance with Renault, a French manufacturer, and Mitsubishi, also based in Japan. The fastest car by Nissan is the GT-R, which can do 0-60 in less than three seconds - a genuinely eye-watering speed.

Car brake fluid - also called hydraulic fluid - amplifies the braking force, prevents corrosion, and lubricates various components.

Every so often, you may need to do a brake fluid flush, which involves flushing the brake system entirely and refilling the master cylinder. How often you do a brake fluid change will impact the effectiveness and longevity of your braking system. If you press the brake pedal and it feels spongy, this is a sign the fluid needs replacing.

Many drivers wonder whether a brake fluid change is part of a service. Unfortunately, the answer is usually no. The recommended brake fluid change interval for many manufacturers is two years; you can find this information in your owner's manual.

How much does a brake fluid change cost? Usually, less than £80, though this depends on the make and model of your car.
