Brake Fluid Condition Monitoring
Has anyone used any of the brake fluid test strips available to determine PH levels or the LED test pens to detect percentage of water content for determining current brake fluid condition?

Reminds me of the zerowater HMD TDS test pen. Only instead of checking for contaminants in the water, the water is the contaminant... Brilliant!

If you follow the factory maintenance schedule these tests will show no issues with the fluid. Making the tests unnecessary.

Every time you open the brake fluid system to check the moisture level you introduce moisture into the system.
