On 02 Chrysler Voyager, Haynes manual calls to bleed brake fluid every 30K Is it worth to replace brake fluid without changing brakes? And if I suction out fluid in reservoir and refill with new is that going to help or its going to by a waste?
 
I couldn't agree more with the gentleman above as moisture in brake fluid corrodes wheel cylinders, calipers and rusts brake lines. It lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. Call around to see who has the equipment to flush and purge fresh fluid in the system with a slick exchange machine. It's a quic and easy job with the right equipment.
 
Bleeding brakes should be done every 2 years or so, due to the brake fluid be hygroscopic, I know the spelling isn't right, but it basically means that the brake fluid absorbs moisture, and water, thus making the brake fluid not as heat resistant ass when it was new. Even if you siphon the reservoir you'll still have the old fluid in the brake lines and calipers and such.
