Hey guys,
I'm goin to (well the meachnic is) drain all my fluids/oils and replace them. I just want to know how much litres of each fluid would i need?
Fluids/oils include clutch, power steering, brake, coolant, transmission, engine oil. Feel free to add any i forgot

Also....i know this has been asked a million times but what fluids are reccommended? Is honda oil/fluid highly reccomended?
Tanx guyz

you will be needing more than 1L of fluid if you are looking at a good brake flush. I always have 2L or sometimes even 3L on the standby....

like Samo said, stick with OEM for the tranmission but go good oil for the engine... it is the heart of your car and it deserves the best ....

hey guys,
so i've just been to my local honda dealer to get my fluids. The honda dealer guy gave me brake fluid when i asked for clutch fluid. I told him he gave me the wrong fluid....brake fluid...but he said he didn't...."you use brake fluid as your clutch fluid" Is this true guys?, or does honda actually have clutch fluid bottled and lablked as clutch fluid?
Also he goes i only needed 500 mls of brake fluid for each of my tanks...the brakes and the clutch...is he on the money?

clutch fluid is brake fluid.
yes, 2x500 bottles to bleed your brakes and clutch system.
sometimes you can get away with 1 bottle, depending how clean and how much air is in your system, but always 2 bottles to be safe.
