Don't forget to use genuine Honda air for your tires.

The manual doesn't like DOT4 fluid for some reason. Says to use it only as a "temporary replacement" and DOT5 is absolutely unsupported.
But if you (like me) flush your clutch a lot less often than you do your brakes, you should put DOT3 in the clutch. Old (ie. more than a year old) DOT3 fluid protects against corrosion better than old DOT4 fluid.

Everyone keeps saying DOT this and that, but no products....
The best clutch fluid you can buy IMHO....

ATE SuperBlue is DOT4.
It is WAY overkill in terms of heat resistance, and will absorb more water and will need to be changed out more often than any DOT3 fluid.
ATE Superblue is a GREAT brake fluid for a track car, but not a very good clutch fluid.
