How often should the brake fluid be changed in a Honda car?
1 Answers
Honda cars should have their brake fluid changed every 2 years or after driving 40,000 kilometers. Brake fluid, generally referring to hydraulic brake fluid, is a liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in hydraulic braking systems. It is used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems and is an indispensable part of the braking system. Within the braking system, it serves as a force-transmitting medium. Since liquids cannot be compressed, the pressure output from the master cylinder is directly transmitted to the wheel cylinders through the brake fluid. Precautions for using brake fluid: avoid mixing with gasoline or engine oil; change it regularly; choose higher-quality brake fluid. The method for changing brake fluid is as follows: park the vehicle on level ground and turn off the engine, open the engine compartment hood and extract the fluid from the reservoir; use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; use a jack to lift the vehicle, starting with the rear wheels to remove the tires; remove the rubber dust caps on the brake calipers; use a wrench to loosen the bleed screws and attach a rubber tube to them, connecting to a drain bottle; go inside the car and press the brake pedal while observing the draining process until the fluid level in the engine compartment reservoir reaches the lower limit; start the vehicle and perform a brake test in a relatively safe area.
