Use a bit of caution with those: They are often very inaccurate. And you will also want to sample from different areas of the system which is pretty hard to do.

Simply put, $5-10 worth of brake fluid every 2yrs to reduce the chances of calipers seizing is a no-brainer.

yes,u are right. i want to check the savety of the fluid. you know,poor quality of the brake fluid may cause traffic accidents, although this is rarely happened...

it will not cause any damage, i separated the brake fluid from the car, just to check, anyway it is very cheap
