Ok... there are numerous threads debating how often the brake fluid should be changed vs. the seemingly absurd every 2 year recommendation in the maintenance guide. I even found https://www.cars.com/articles/how-often-do-i-need-to-change-my-brake-fluid-1420680336417/.

If I visit https://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Systems/b/ref=bl_dp_s_web_3216413011?ie=UTF8&node=3216413011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Phoenix+Systems, I only see other strips that are about that much for 100 w/slightly different numbers (3006-B and 3009-B vs. 3001-B) or just 2 of these 3003-B at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E6TXWA6/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_2_w for $9.40.
Would be nice if there were quantities less than a 100 but not at the absurd per unit price of $4.70/piece. I only need to test 2 cars no more than once or twice a year. Unsure of the shelf-life of these strips.
