I think Porsche says every 2 yrs. on every Maint. Schd. I've seen and in the maint. logbook with the cars, which I think pertains to street driven (only) cars. I do mine a little more often, about 18 mos. Just did it last weekend on the 993.

Then you will remember this one....if your a beer fan. One of the greatest commericals every made!!

I was sittin' outside on my tractor, teachin' my dog, Luther, how to read when this flyin' saucer BEAMS me up... and inside there were all these funny creatures, with big yeller eyes and oogly skin... and they were talkin' REAL funny, like this:

"Rellim Reeb"

"Rellim Reeb"

Well all of a sudden it hits me! They was sayin' Miller Beer, only they was sayin' it BACKWARDS.

Well, lucky fer me I had a six pack of Miller with me...
and THEY JUST SUCKED IT RIGHT UP

*schluuuurrrrrpppp*

WITH THEIR FINGERS!

And they said they was comin' back

*hummm*

So lock up yer Rellim Reeb!

Even racing, annually is way too much. I have a racing buddy who owns about 8 race cars and he advised me that to replace brake fluid any more often than once every couple of years is overkill. I do mine every three years. In fact,--I will be doing the first fluid flush next week on my 997S. (My pads are down .6 mm with 10mm to go,--with 38,000 miles on them.) (The benefits of PCCB)
