Brake Fluid - Honda Odyssey 2001 Reference Owner's Manual

Brake Fluid

Check the fluid level in the brake
fluid reservoir monthly.
The brake fluid should be replaced
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule.
Maintenance
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 vehicle's
braking system and can cause
extensive damage.
Brake System
MAX
M I N
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.
