Did an advanced search, found nothing.
Dealer/manual recommend 7500m/annual brake fluid change. Dealer (salesman, NOT the Leaf-only tech) recommended it, because the heat in the regen can cause brake fluid to break down. My previous experience with new cars (VWs): First change at 2 years (paid for by VW), then every 3 years, mostly because of the hygroscopic nature of brake fluid, not necessarily heat.
So, what's the "in the field" experience here? Leaf is driven almost exclusively in very gentle, 3-5 miles commute/trips, no bumper-to-bumper, very little high-speed (heat!) braking.
Thanks.
