Having brake fluid changed tomorrow

First time that I am having this done.

I thought about doing it myself, but I consider the $30 well worth the cost to have the brakes bled and the fluid replaced to brand new fluid.

Yep, now I have to figure out if it's DOT-3 or DOT-4 brake fluid.


Sorry it was in the wrong sub-forum Mike!

Just get 2 bottles of Honda fluid:



The car takes DOT3. If you feel the need to upgrade we recommend the Motul RBF600, but that is completely unnecessary if you are doing anything this side of track driving.

I just paid $60 labor and $10 for the brake fluid change from an independent today (separate from new front brake pads, 5AT fluid change, etc.).
