Honda 2001 Integra Hatchback, Owner'S Manual

Brake and Clutch Fluid
Always use Honda Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it is not
available, you should use only DOT 3
or DOT 4 fluid, from a sealed
container, as a temporary
replacement. However, the use of
any non-Honda brake fluid can cause
corrosion and decrease the life of the
system. Have the brake system
flushed and refilled with Honda
Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as
soon as possible.
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not
compatible with your car's braking
system and can cause extensive
damage.
Brake System
The fluid level should be between
the M I N and MAX marks on the side
of the reservoir. If the level is at or
below the M I N mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
Clutch System
The fluid should be between the
M I N and MAX marks on the side of
the reservoir. If it is not, add brake
fluid to bring it up to that level. Use
the same fluid specified for the
brake system.
Low fluid level can indicate a leak in
the clutch system. Have this system
inspected as soon as possible.
