I replaced my fluid with the DOT 5.1. The old fluid looked burnt. This was around 10K miles. I should do it again soon.

Thx guys...did some thread searching and discovered lots of information.
Not the first time this has happened so i prob do need to change it. Should have thought about this sooner. Ugh.

Easy to change and bleed in your opinions?
Is DOT 5.1 the same as Motul that everybody talks about?! And do you guys have strong opinions on it?

It is fairly easy to change out, yes, assuming you have easy access to squirm under your car. It's MUCH easier with a power bleeder of some sort...
