Honda coin flip: coolant flush or brake fluid change?
A. Not sure I’d know if my brake fluid was in need of changing, based on recent brake pad job. Chose not to do fluid at that time. Brakes work grate - not mushy, no fade.
2. Also unaware of what sustained high wx temperatures have on engine coolant.
So coolant won the toss and will defend the south goal.

That's what Honda (and Toyota) are using in their newer models.
