Brake And Clutch Fluid - Honda 1997 Prelude Owner's Manual

Brake and Clutch Fluid

Check the fluid level in the reser-
voirs monthly. There are one or two
reservoirs, depending on model.
They are:
Brake fluid reservoir (all models)
Clutch fluid reservoir
(manual transmission only)
The brake fluid in the brake system
should be replaced according to the
time and distance recommendations
in the maintenance schedule.
Maintenance
Brake Fluid
Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3
brake fluid. 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 DOT 3 brake fluid 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
MAX
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 MIN mark, your brake
system needs attention. Have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
