I change mine twice a year. I just drain the old fluid out of it by opening the bleeder and pushing the pedal down to the floor and holding it there. Then have the bleeder closed. I repeat this until I am just about out of fluid. Then I top it off and continue this process till I am almost out of fluid again. This way you don't pull any air into the system and you are flushing all the old stuff out of the system.

Open the cap on the reservoir, if the fluid looks black change it.
