It is recommended that brake fluid be added if it is low. We usually see marks on the dipstick (on vehicles that have them) or on the side of the brake fluid reservoir. The marks will usually say "full" or "low" and can be used as indicators as to if and when to add brake fluid. There is one more thing.
Manufacturers and service professionals usually recommended that brake fluid be changed every two years. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water. If brake fluid absorbs atmospheric moisture over a period of time, the boiling point of the fluid will drop. Under extreme conditions, the fluid could boil causing catastrophic failure of the brakes.
