A good mechanic would probably charge you under $50 to do this and might even bleed and flush your clutch cylinder too.
I recommend Valvoline Syntech DOT4 and that's what I use. It's probably the best over-the-counter brake fluid you can commonly find at any chain auto parts store.

Oh ok thanks. Just wondering but with the OEM brake fluid, when is the right time to flush it or going by the honda dealerships, what time line do they follow before they flush your brake fluids for you? 1 year/ 2years?
