Honda CR-V: Maintenance Under the Hood / Brake Fluid
Specified fluid: Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3
Checking the Brake Fluid
The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the
side of the reserve tank.
NOTICE
Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not compatible with your
vehicle's braking system and can cause extensive
damage.
If the specified brake fluid is not available, you should

container as a temporary replacement.
Using any non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion
and decrease the longevity of the system. Have the
brake system flushed and refilled with Honda Heavy
Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as soon as possible.
If the brake fluid level is at or below the MIN mark,
have a dealer inspect the vehicle for leaks or worn
brake pads as soon as possible.
