SERVICE INFORMATION

Genuine Honda Heavy Duty DOT 3 brake fluid is the only fluid you should be using in Acura brake systems because:

It's the same formula as the factory-fill.
It resists corrosion.
It has low sediment formation.
It has superior high-temperature stability and a higher wet boiling point than other DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids on the market.

All Acura brake systems are designed to work with Honda DOT 3 fluid. Even if DOT 4 was previously used in the vehicle you're working on, mix Honda DOT 3 with it when you add or replace fluid; it will give the brake system the advantages of the Honda DOT 3 formula.

The P/N for Genuine Honda Heavy Duty DOT 3 brake fluid is 08798-9008.
