BE CAREFUL. This fluid is for inside your manual transmission, not the clutch resivour which requires dot3. For the clutch use dot3 which is a brake fluid!

If it were me, I would get the Honda / Acura fluid. The reason people are buying this for Volvos and other European vehicles using the Aisin transmission is that the Volvo dealers are charging way more for the Volvo branded fluid. This is much less of an issue with Honda.

I have a 2006 e46 M3 and I thought that this would be sufficient since it has the LS Friction Modifier. I was wrong. Forums can be wrong. You unfortunately have to go with the OEM BMW fluid which is crazy expensive ($48+/bottle). Some dealerships apparently let you fill up an empty gallon container since they only stock it in drums.

The tester simply tests for the presence of water in brake fluid. Since that has nothing to do with the brake fluid type the answer would be, no compensation needed. I experimented with my tester in some leftover brake fluids of both DOT3 and DOT4 to which I had added a few drops of water and in both cases the tester indicated that there was water present. I also tested it in running tap water and the indication was that there was the greatest amount of water present.

You want to make sure you don't use manual transmission fluid for an automatic. As for how many quarts, look it up online or in your owner's manual.I'm pretty sure most Hondas don't have drain plugs on their tranny pans. So unless you plan to suck it out, the job is more involved and messy than you think. If you are going to drop the pan, may as well change the tranny filter and tranny pan gasket.

I drive a 2001 Civic EX coupe manual like yours. Our cars only need 1.6 quarts to fill it up. Says that in the owner's manual. I always end up with a little left over with just 2 quarts. Make sure to do with car flat and level. Happy driving!

Best to go to Redlines website and type in your cars make/model and they will tell you which of their fluids to use for your specific car

If your owners manual suggests this fluid yes. I know Subaru makes one other type of gear fluid. You could simply call the dealer and ask what is recommended for your vehicle. They will likely ask you for a VIN #. This is likely for Manual cars only as well but I am not sure 100% there.

My answer is check your manual to see if they recommend WS (World Standard) Fluid. If you do not have a manual check with some of the Toyota websites or a Toyota dealer.

Yes if the Honda has a manual transmission. I use it in my 2003 Civic and my 2006 S2000 (both manual trans). It is lighter weight than the Honda MT fluid it replaced but works great.

Yes. This is the ONLY power steering fluid you should be using in your 2008 Civic.

All it is doing is measuring water in the brake fluid. I stuck mine in the faucet, and all lights go in indicating that it is contaminated. In a fresh bottle of dot 3 fluid, no lights come on. I tried it on a newer vehicle, no light. Tried it on a 02 Dodge which has never had the fluid changed, all lights on indicating the fluid needs to be flushed. So my best guess is no.

Folks please be careful using this anti-seize lubricant. Many brake caliper parts including the caliper mounts, require a thread lock compound such as Loctite. This anti-seize "lubricant" is not a substitute. Please use extreme caution!!

No. Brake fluid is placed in the pump-up pressurized bottle and delivered to the master cylinder reservoir under pressure. As long as there is fluid in the bottle your reservoir remains full. Instructions are included for disconnecting in a manner that leaves the master cylinder level exactly where you want it upon completion. I use a little less than a quart of fluid to fully flush my car's system.

I used this on 99 civic in my first oil change. its a plier and will grip almost all filters. A socket, extender and a ratchet would be easier but if you are saving to the penny a plier is what you need for multiple vehicles.99 civic uses m1-104 oil filter from mobil1 and I don't think its larger than your filter. fyi, the plier teeth can puncture filter

Maybe the best way to put it is to switch the conversation to shifting a manual gearbox. The question becomes do I need to start out in first, then second, and then third. With enough clutch slipping it is possible to bypass first, but things work much better and easier if used as designed - same with the compound and polish. The compound is more abrasive and designed to reduce the height of the surface irregularities. Then the polish comes along and refines the blemishes left by the compound. Going right to the polish will require more time getting the surface to look right, and possibly even take you longer than the time for the normal application of both compound and polish.
