He said “Actually, brake fluid can get cooked under aggressive driving. I drive aggressively, thus I will bleed my brakes!“. He didn’t say he had an issue, he inferred he could. Other then rare exceptions (people who drive like idiots or another malfunction that causes it), quality DOT3 that is flushed as required will not give you boil issues on a street car. Again, autox/open track is a different story.
I'm having trouble distinguishing the stupid from the sarcasm in this thread. Brake fluid should be flushed ~every 2 years as it draws in moisture. I do it whenever I change pads, easy to remember. Plus I always open the bleeders when I push calipers back in because you are supposed to so you don’t push contaminants back up into the system. But I know the shade trees will disagree with that and they are always right.
