Brake fluid has to be 'bled' out through the valves on your calipers one at a time it is important to have either a vacuum pump for this job or an assistant to manually pump the brakes to force out the old fluid. Using new clean fluid to keep the brake resevoir 'topped' up during the process will prevent air bubbles from being allowed into the system.

A car has to have brake fluid to allow for the effective operation of the brakes to stop the car.
