You 03 needs new brake fluid. LOLQuote:

blck cat, how many bottles of brake fluid do you need? Is changing the fluid requires bleeding and all that stuff?
Shocking noise? Describe the noise better. Is it a squeal, a screech or a grind?Quote:

Thanks! I am at 15k atm, but my car is 2.5 yrs old, and the manual says brake fluid will be changed at 30mths service. Shall I go with the change?Quote:

For street use, Honda brake fluid is fine. I hope you mean DOT5.1. DOT5 + DOT4 would gel up in your brake lines.Quote:
