The 2009 Chevy Silverado requires Dot 4 brake fluid as recommended by the manufacturer. Replacing the brake fluid can cost between $5 and $15, depending on the brand and quality. The factory suggests getting this done every 30,000 miles. At an auto service shop, the price can vary from $80 to $120, covering both labor and parts. Regular brake use is the main reason for needing a brake fluid flush and bleed. However, if the fluid is extremely old, dirty, and poses a risk to rubber components, a flush and bleed service may be necessary. Additionally, this service can help remove air from the system in case of a brake fluid leak.
