hey guys, i just recently got a 1999 honda accord v6 ex coupe for my first car. planning on replacing the oil, transmission oil, power steering, coolant, brake fluid. it didn't come with a manual so i was wonder if you could tell me what is the capacity for each? i am not sure if brake fluid and power steering fluid have a capacity but if it does, please share! thank youu. my next oil change is at 140500 miles and im planning to flush out some stuff and replace it with new ones. thanks for helping.

Oil Capacity.
Transmission Oil Capacity:
Coolant Capacity:

 

Oil (with filter): 4.6 quarts
Trans: 6.2 pints
Coolant: 5.9 quarts

 

DO NOT flush the tranny just do a drain and refill

if it is AT get 3 qts of ATF-Z1 from the dealer ,, if tranny fluid is really dirty you might want to repeat the procedure 2-3 times ,, drain refill, drive a bit, drain refill , etc etc .. ATF-Z1 is about $6.50 qt

and last ,,, INPUT YEAR AND MODEL in your signature... please

 

nevermind, hmm how about brake and steering?

 

Not sure if there are specific capacities listed as the fluid has to travel through all of the lines. Buy a large bottle of brake fluid (DOT 3)and that should be enough. Same for power steering.

 

been searching for alternative brake fluids beside honda. many show interest in Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid Dot 4. would dot 4 work?

 

DOT4 fluid would satisfy DOT3 requirements. They're both poly-glycol fluid & DOT4 has higher boiling points.

Generally, DOT4 boiling points start out higher, but they deteriorate more quickly. So if you're inclined to flush your brakes with fresh fluid every 2 years, go ahead. If you leave it go for years & years, then use DOT3.
