Transmission failures after long-delayed fluid service can wash away varnish that has become a part of the internal sealing. Routine maintenance prevents varnish deposits and keeps the seals soft. Coolant becomes acidic and will dissolve the components it contacts. Flushing neglected coolant can expose holes in the system that already existed, but were sealed with debris. Brake fluid becomes moisture saturated and corrodes expensive cylinders and ABS controls. Nothing is more fun than replacing a $2000 ABS control module. Will flushing fluids that are filled with dirt, varnish and carbon that has become a part of the component? No, because the failure has already occurred.</p></blockquote><p></p>
