  • I bought this used 2014 Honda Civic 1.8 EX with 130,000 miles.
    I had the impression that the brake fluid was not replaced in the past few years and I was right. You will see how dark was the brake fluid coming out.
    I used all 32 oz bottle for this job. I pressed the brake pedal about 40 times for the rear passenger wheel, 30 for the rear driver, 20 for the front passenger and 10 for the front driver.
    I used Prestone Dot 3 Max since it lasts 100K miles. The cost is around $12.
    Brake fluid is something you won't want to store since it will attract water and you won't be able to use it. So buy what you will use and then return the unopened bottles.

    this is incorrect information you should be starting from the driver side then passenger side, then rear passenger side and finally rear driver side. this is specifically for the 9th gen honda civics

      @@Retinaplays thank you for your comment.
      It seems the conventional RR-LR-RF-LF doesn’t apply base on Honda’s design. Here is the explanation: "The hydraulic system consists of two seperate circuits. The Master cylinder has seperate reservoirs for the two circuits. In effect, it has two master cylinders. If one system fails (let's say the rear), the front wheels will still have brakes. Since the ABS is on the right side of the car, the farthest wheel of that system is the LF; the closest is The RF. In the second system, the farthest wheel from the ABS (apparently, how it is routed) is the RR; the closest is the LR. The correct sequence is: LF-RF-RR-LR.
