container, as a temporary
replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake fluid can
cause corrosion and decrease the life
of the system. Have the brake

Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid
DOT 3 as soon as possible.

compatible with your vehicle's
braking system and can cause
extensive damage.

The fluid level should be between
the MIN and MAX marks on the side

below the MIN mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
