Honda Genuine DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid

Honda DOT 3 brake fluid · One bottle contains 1 US qt (946 mL). Purchase additional unopened bottles as required for Honda’s no-air-bubbles endpoint and final MAX reservoir level; a single bottle is not a guaranteed whole-system quantity. Routine bleeding does not mandate new caliper hardware.

Brake bleeding order: Left front → right front → right rear → left rear. Use fresh Honda DOT 3; maintain reservoir level and bleed until no air bubbles remain. Corroborated

Fluid: Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 or exact manual equivalent
Safety: Brake fluid damages paint; do not introduce air into ABS hydraulics
Fluid condition and bleeding endpoint: Use clean Honda DOT 3 from unopened containers; do not reuse drained fluid or mix brands. Start with the reservoir at MAX, check after each caliper, replenish as needed and finish at MAX. Follow the numbered left-front, right-front, right-rear, left-rear sequence until no air bubbles remain. Honda specifies this endpoint rather than a fixed flush volume: obtain additional unopened bottles as required, and never let the reservoir run dry.
