I was just lied to by my dealer and would like to know if any of you have had a brake fluid flush and how many miles on your car did you have, when it was recommended.

How do you know you were lied to? About what?

The recommendation in your owner's manual is every 3 years, regardless of mileage.

Sounds like he has a 2018, so he may have a good point.
Yes, ms32224a is correct on 3 yrs regardless of mileage.

Agreed, it may be a little soon. But I'll also say that I've flushed my brake systems fewer times than I really should have. I haven't died yet, but the pedal does get spongy as the fluid ages and takes on moisture. I bought a DIY hydraulic pump to bleed them with, so I don't need another person to assist me anymore.

I also don't do it every 3 yrs or sooner but I think it is a good recommendation. I'm lucky if I do it every 5 yrs.
I installed speed bleeder valves last time to make it easier but I seem to keep procrastinating more as I get older.
Not good.
I also use the Valvoline Dot 3&4 brake fluid.
I'm a rebel and I don't use Honda WW fluid either.

My 2018 just gave a MM Code 7. Brake fluid change. 25 months 23000 miles. Having it done with next oil change.
2018 manual says do at 3 years if MM Code 7 hasn't appeared.

Yes, 3 year change interval as brake fluid can accumulate moisture over a length of time.

I enjoy bleeding brakes more than doing oil changes. i duuno why? ?
