Going to being changing the Brake Fluid on my 08 TL-S next weekend, how many bottles of the OEM Acura Fluid do I need to purchase?

Also, is there an online store that sells OEM fluids?

Thanks!

It's been a while, but I think I bought 4 and used 3.


You can get DOT3 Amsoil fluid that has higher wet and dry boiling points than many mass-market DOT4 fluids.


Make sure you do the bleed order on the Brembos correctly (link in this page: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-garage-faq-3g-tl-newbies-553554/).

Any DOT 3/4 fluid will do...stay away from DOT 5...

in my 05 TL, I got 2, used 2....but since you have TL-S, I would double check....

It's pretty much two. Depends on how religious you are with your flush.

I use a Motive Products pressure bleeder on my wife's '07 TL-S (and my '08 350Z), and used just about the entire liter of Ate Super "Blue". The next change you use the "Gold" fluid, so you can see when all the blue is flushed, the next time the gold, and so on. The pressure bleeder will result in almost no wasted fluid, and generally does a better job that pumping the brake pedal.

You can use DOT 5.1, but not DOT 5. http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-290511.aspx
