Do you do it yourself? I change those in my bike every couple of years but never do the cars.
What did you do in your garage today..?

No. I’ll pay to get it done. Car is still in warranty and 80/20 will be sold shortly for a replacement so I’d rather have the paperwork.
If it doesn’t sell the min the warranty expires there will be a gain in hp…
I bought a pressure bleeder for the cars. Makes it very fast and easy. As a belt and suspenders approach, once the flush is done, recruit a helper to do the traditional pump/squeeze/bleed for a few cycles on each corner.
I also ended up with a motorized bleeder that should do the same thing but uses a 12V pump instead of compressed air to push the fluid through. It didn't come with hoses/adaptors and I haven't bothered making a set.
I have speed bleeders on the bike, I wonder if there is something similar for cars. To make it a one person job.

If you're just flushing, use a stick to put pressure on the brake pedal and crack the bleeder. Let some fluid flow out and then tighten the bleeder. Re-fill the reservoir and reset your pedal stick before moving to the next wheel.
