Brake Fluid Capacity?

I couldn't find a reference to it in the Owner's Manual or through a search on the forum.

I want to do a Brake Fluid Drain and Fill of the system. How many pints does it take? Honda sells this stuff by the pint.

All depends on how efficiently you bleed the brakes. Keep the resevoir full, start with the RR wheel, then LR wheel, then RF wheel, and lastly the LF wheel. Keep bleeding till you get clean new fluid. Make sure the resevoir fluid level doesn't get too low during the bleeding process. The entire system holds about a pint. When you are done don't over fill your resevoir and don't save any unused brake fluid on the shelf to use later (it absorbs moisture after it is opened). I would get 2 pints and try not to open the second one unless you needed it. Save it for a later use if you don't open it.
