Default Need oil, diff, tranny and brake fluid done...

Hey guys, does anyone know of a place I can have all of these fluids changed out? I can purchase and bring all of the oil/fluids that need to be done.

Also, why do people bleed the brakes?

Thanks,
Denny

drive up to the KBAB and do it yourself with the help of 8-10 others. It is better to borrow the tools and do it right yourself.

People bleed the brakes because hard braking boils the fluid and it loses it's physical properties. If you drive hard it should be done every 15-20k miles, or when you change the brake pads.

bring it to the KBAB.

brake fluid is changed because it gets dirty and it's also absorbs moisture and cause a bad pedal feel as well as rust your brake lines from the inside out.


thanks,

I agree with both above except if you drive hard, as you should I would change the brake fluid more, or at least bleed a bunch out.
Come to my tech day and learn lots.
Bring good brake fluid. Big debate on that. Lots use super blue.
I use Motul600. But the super seems fine for everyone, or most.

For a DD you do not need expensive brake fluid. If you will be tracking the car, then I would certainly consider Super Blue or Motul or something like that.

Very true, but I figured drive it like you stole it right?

If you don't have the time or something else conflicts with the KBAB, I can do it at GT Motoring.

We stock Redline Oils for the diff/trans.

We also stock Motul and Super Blue Brake Fluids.

Or if OEM Honda fluids are your main squeeze, we can do those also.

PM me if you want a quote.



I run Super Blue brake fluid in my car because its basically the same price as OEM and its much better. Also cheaper than Motul, but basically the same. Plus its blue!
