I was going to change it before but my passenger side main cylinder started leaking. I posted another thread explaining how I repaired it without removing it from the car.
In case you haven't seen it.
To help lengthen the life of the new seals and hopefully some of the older seals I changed the fluid using Mercedes Benz hydraulic fluid. I removed the pump from the car so I could remove the reservoir and wipe all the nasty black residue from it. There is a small hose clamp device on the reservoir that allows you to remove it. Careful there is an O-ring when you take it off. I put a little blue Loctite on that clamp so It won't loosen after I had removed it. There was a yellow paint like mark that I believe worked to prevent it loosening from the factory. I then had someone cycle the top up and down until clean fluid came out of the return line I was holding in that bottle. It took almost 2 full quarts and 4 up and down cycles.
Glad I changed it, NASTY!!
