My car got 30k miles...


is it time to replace it yet? i was told you're suppose to replace them yearly and my car is 1yr 7months old

i thought you normally wouldn't have to replace clutch and brake fluid. and coolant i think it's every 60k as it says in the manual.

 

yes you're suppose to replace all the fluids.

30k service here is oil, brake, trans + other stuff

 

While you're at it and have the time you might as well change them all out. It won't hurt. I would change them if I had the time to. It's going to cost around $30 for all of those fluids and take some time, but all in all it's just like changing your oil.

 

how do you drain & fill the brake, coolant, & clutch??

don't you need 2 people to do the brake?
don't you have to drain the block also and not just the radiator?
how do you drain & fill the clutch fluid

 

if you combine all our posts it ways you should change all the fluids. so just change em all hahaha

No, you can use a one man bleeding kit which can be bought from the auto parts store for $5.

The block does not need to be drained unless your coolant is filthy. If it is filthy you can flush it out with a garden hose. Draining your radiator and refilling is more than enough.

I'm not sure how the clutch is designed on our new cars, but on the old ones you can gravity-bleed them by opening up the clutch fluid reservoir and losening the bleeder valve on the clutch slave and letting it bleed slowly on its own while keeping the reservoir full with new fluid.

Do a search, everything has been covered hundreds of times on Honda-Tech.

 

Coolant shouldnt need to be changed til about 80k
Trans and brake should be changed at 30k
Clutch - not too sure

 

I guess i'll just replace the tranny fluid and pay the dealer to do the clutch & brake since it's a 2 man job and i'm not familiar with it. anyone know what's the price for them to do it? the coolant can hold off for now.

 

Well we charge 89.95 for a brake flush...clutch i would assume would be close cuz it almost the same damn thing...its really only a 1 man job with the right tools

 

Here's what I do:

Register for Honda/Acura owner link @ https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/...Honda

There is service reminders, maintenance minders (tells you what maintenance is required based on the codes your car gives) and also a service record you can use to input what maintenance you've done at what mileage, etc, etc, etc.

This seems to keep me on my toes when it comes to maintenance along with the convenience and comfort of knowing my car's well taken care of. Hope this helps you guys.

 

it doesn't say anything about replacing clutch fluid & power steering

 

now this is what's recommended from honda and the maintenance minder....sooo...you don't have to....but....doesn't hurt to have new fluids...up to you
