Lines cost 108.00 and fluid is so cheap I don't remember the price.

SO - I favor the 2yr replacement even though I don't have free maint plan due to 2nd owner.

Brakes are important so why lessen their performance by absorbing moisture?
I plan on doing what you just did when Spring arrives (it's snowing out right now). How much brake fluid did you use when also doing the stainless hoses?One liter seems like enough when just flushing. Any extra needed when installing hoses?
