Brake fluid Service Interval

My car see's light use, its a 2011 997.2 Turbo S and I am just about at the 10,000 mile mark. Car is stored in a climate controlled environment when not in the road.

I have been changing my oil every year, cleaning the body drains (its a cab) and will continue that practice.

I have been changing my brake fluid every 2 years like my dealer recommended and had me programmed to do.

Do you think this is good practice or is this overkill. Thanks I am getting ready for my annual service and want to figure out what needs to be done.

ATE DOT 5.1 brake fluid has a change interval up to 3 years. That’s what I use on all my cars.

PDQPDK is infamous around these parts
I look at it as cheap insurance against corrosion, and it's one more way to tell a future buyer that you care about your car. When, if, I sell my 997.2 Turbo S, I'll also provide the buyer with all of the Blackstone Oil analysis' I have done with each oil change.
