Car is due a brake fluid service next month. Is it worth buying the brake fluid myself and supplying it to the dealer.

If so, what grade/spec do I need? Spend a bit extra and get better fluid?

Advice/opinions welcome.

Much better than standard brake fluid for very little extra expense.

Dont think the main agents will do it, there brake fluid is in a pressurised container I was told when I enquired.

It should take 3 litres to do it properly i.e. completely emptied and bled through. However, only 1 litre was used when mine was done at the dealer. Probably because they just extract as much as they can from the reservoir then top up with the new stuff.
