All Fluids

In the next week or so, I want to replace all fluids. this is what i can think of off the top of my head:

- Transmission fluid & all new washers
- Clutch fluid
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Coolant
- Motor oil

am i forgetting anything?

lol at blinker fluid

The brakes will be the hardest. You'll have to bleed each wheel with new fluid till only new fluid comes out the bleed screw.
The power steering is easy. Take the hose out of the bottom of the tank, & let it drain out. You can remove the tank to clean inside it & reinstall. Add new fluid & your done. Use only Honda fluid for this.

Clutch is the same way, but use DOT3 or higher brake fluid. You could bleed it to if you wanted. It doesn't hold very much fluid.

The trans use either the GM syncromesh or the Honda fluid.

Wiper fluid your forgetting. May want to run a bottle of fuel cleaner through the gas tank.
