All brake fluid is HYGROscopic. Even the synthetic DOT % silicon formulas. For those not in the know, hygroscopic means it attracts water, moisture. If you're doing your brakes, a brake fluid flush would be good to do @ the same time while the wheels are off. Another thing to know is that brake fluid will eat up paint. So if it gets on a painted surface for like 3 to 5 seconds DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT take a towel and try to wipe it off. In that short amount of time you will wipe away the paint. Have a bottle of regular water handy and just pour it on the affected surface. The hygroscopic nature of the brake fluid will attract itself to the water giving you time to BLOT the area with a soft cloth. Hopefully saving your paint.

If you haven't done brakes before, lift the car up off the ground totally, the two jack pads near the front wheels and you can raise the rear easily enough by jacking up the differential. Do one side at a time, left and right not one axle at a time. That way you can use what's already there in place to check your work. I'll tell you this though, don't be intimidated by a brake job, we get paid 4 hours flat rate for a 4 wheel brake job and taking our time, we can get both axles done in about an hour 10 or an hour 20.

Brake jobs are considered "Gravy train on biscuit wheels"
