According to the factory requirements for the 2016 Mazda6, the recommended brake fluid is Dot-4. You can find the correct brake fluid specified on the brake reservoir cap or in the owner's manual. The cost of replacing the brake fluid varies between $5 and $15, depending on the brand and quality of the fluid. The factory suggests changing the brake fluid every 30,000 miles. If you take your car to a repair shop, the cost of this service, including labor and parts, usually ranges from $80 to $120. The primary reason for flushing and bleeding brake fluid is regular brake use. However, a flush and bleed service may be needed if the fluid is found to be too old, dirty, or harmful to the rubber components of the braking system.
