NO LONGER ACTIVE
But you also need to factor in time as the rubber seals the diaphragms in the accumulators and dampeners deteriorate with age. Also, with hydraulic systems, lack of use can be worse than overuse.

If I were to buy a car which still had its original fluid, for one time I would either perform a thorough flush, or I would change the reservoir several times over the course of a week or so.
