Fluid
Use the same fluid for both the brakes and clutch.
The fluid level should be between the
MIN
and
MAX
marks on the side of the reserve
tank.
The brake reserve tank is also used for your
vehicle’s clutch fluid. As long as you keep the
brake fluid level as instructed above, there is
no need for checking the clutch fluid level.

Checking the Brake Fluid

NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your
vehicle’s braking system and can cause extensive
damage.
If the specified brake fluid is not available, you should
use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid from a sealed
container as a temporary replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion
and decrease the longevity of the system. Have the
brake system flushed and refilled with Honda Heavy
Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as soon as possible.
If the brake fluid level is at or below the
MIN
mark,
have a dealer inspect the vehicle for leaks or worn
brake pads as soon as possible.
