Not sure I understand your question, but fluid should be changed out at some point in 170k. If it hasn't, probably a good idea to. If the fluid isn't very clear, that is a good indicator that it needs to be changed.

You should lube the 2 pins/bolts that the caliper slides on with lithium grease. Probably not that big a deal if you noticed they were already pretty greasy. Other than that I concur the brake fluid should be bled out and replaced every 60,000 miles or so approximatley.
