I did it all myself - but to do that you need to rig up a funnel ontop of the brake fluid reserviour so the fluid never goes below min :thumbsup:

I bought a wide funnel from an auto shop and used tape to keep it in place and stop it from leaking fluid.

Depends on the car. Most older Honda's can take normal DOT3/DOT4 fluid, but the newer ones require Honda fluid due to the seals.

I believe that if it says "Use DOT4 Honda Brake Fluid only" on the reservoir cap then you need to use Honda stuff.

If it says "Use DOT4 brake fluid only" then buy two bottles of Castrol Response Super DOT4, which can be bought from most AutoShops (Repco, AutoOne, SuperCheap, etc..)
