Before you add brake fluid, are you SURE you need to add some? Because as brake pads wear, the brake fluid level goes down, but the brake pads need to be replaced then, BEFORE any brake fluid is added. Otherwise, when the brake pads ARE replaced, there will be too much brake fluid in the reservoir, and it will flow out when the pistons are pushed back into it's bore, to make room for the new pads. -Tom.
the average boiling point of the brake fluid has dropped to a potentially dangerous level because of moisture contamination and may not meet minimum federal requirements for brake fluid.

You do not need to change it at all, unless you have replaced some long brake lines. Just make sure that the level of the fluid is proper.
All vehicle manufacturers recommend DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Find it at your local parts store. Just ask a salesperson for brake fluid, they know what you need.
Brake fluid in ANY vehicle should be flushed every two to three years depending on vehicle usage. Be sure to use the appropriate brake fluid for your Honda (don't just buy any brake fluid off the shelf.) I always flush my fluid when I replace the front disk pads. If your brake fluid is a very dark brown or worse, milky, change it immediately.
Um... NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! If your brake fluid is low your brakes will not have the usual amount of stopping power. You need to stop driving that vehicle and refill the fluid as soon as possible.
Most probably indicating that your brake pads are almost finished and need to be replaced. Check that, if not check your brake fluid level.
Check the brake fluid level in the Master Cylinder. If it is low add DOT3 brake fluid to the full mark. If it was really low, the brakes need bleeding. This car is 13 years old and more than likely needs new brake pads if you have not replaced them. Have the pads replaced, rotors turned, and brake fluid changed.
Rear brake cylinders or calibers are corroded and need to be replaced. Also drain the replace all brake fluid.
1. you need to check your brake fluid. If it is TOO low, then no brake fluid to help stop the vehicle. 2. You need to get new brakes.
If you are wondering whether it is possible to replace one's own brake rotors or not because you drive an older vehicle that need brake rotors replaced, then the answer is no.
