Turning a brake rotor

Some good info there. The front rotors actually have slots and not nearly as many as those pictured in that link.

As for the brake fluid, I make it a habit to replace my brake fluid once year. Cheap insurance. After a couple years it tends to get the consistency of ear wax.

running new brake fluid through helped a lot. The old stuff looked like coffee from sitting for many years.

I have put new pads on also and running new brake fluid through helped a lot. The old stuff looked like coffee from sitting for many years.

If your brake fluid was that bad, you should take off the caliper and pop out the piston and see what's inside. I bet you'll be surprised
