Has anyone else gotten an A7 in the maintenance minder for a brake fluid flush at such a low mileage? I’ve owned it for almost 2 years so maybe thats why but it seems ridiculous to have to flush the brake fluid when the car has such low mileage.

I'm at 11,350 miles and one and quarter years ownership, no A7. That's interesting. Do you have a lot of stop and go driving? Or push particularly hard?

Acura TLX brake fluid is supposed to be changed every two years. The car determines the time based in either performance of the brakes or 2 years from assembly.

Thanks for the info.

I'd say even this is excessive. Earlier of 3 years or 36,000 miles...that's always been the general recommendation. However, could the 2 year recommendation be tied to the Brembo brake system on the Type S??

Yikes, you’re absolutely right about the 3Y/36K… Kinda spaced out there.

I’m not sure about the brembo brakes in this case.

wouldn't be horrible to change it every 2 years. quick flush is all it'll need. Even better if you're doing the work yourself, just make sure to start at the furthest away from the pump.
