Called dealership today for "Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid" Dot 3

The guy in Parts Dept said that there is only one type of "Honda Brake Fluid". I recall it has to be HEAVY DUTY BRAKE FLUID. Anyone have some insight on this. I don't want to put the wrong brake fluid in my clutch reservoir.

 

Bump

 

There is only one fluid sold over the counter at Honda that I've seen. Don't get hung up on the name it doesn't mean much, just like trying to find Honda SAE90 diff fluid, it doesn't exist.

I prefer to use Ford Heavy Duty DOT3 Fluid though. I use the Prestone version of Heavy Duty Ford DOT3 synthetic fluid, sold pretty much everywhere I think.

 

There is only one type of OEM brake fluid that I know of...

 

ok thanks guys

 

good enough?

That is what I use, its dirt cheap at Walmart. I drain and clean my MC/CMC every other oil change with it too.

 

That is good too, the one I use is in that line of products but it is for the Ford Heavy Duty spec, I don't see it in that web listing, but that one you listed is pretty decent too. I also use the Wilwood 570 fluid, it is in that web listing.

 

I don't know if there are two types of fluids, but there are two types of labels. This website lists the part number as 08798-9008. I've ordered that same part number from Majestic Honda and got brake without without "heavy duty" on the label.

 

I like Prestone DOT4 fluid.Has a higher boiling point.
