Brake fluid is a crucial part of your car’s system, and if it’s low or empty, your car won’t stop as easily. If you notice that your brake fluid is low or empty, follow these steps to flush it and improve your car’s stopping power
How to Flush Brake Fluid
To flush brake fluid in a Honda CRV, start by turning the car off and removing the key from the ignition.
Next, open the hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir. Use a hose to siphon off any excess fluid that may be present. Be sure to avoid getting any fluid on the brakes or engine.
Close the hood and turn the car back on. Drive until the brake pedal feels comfortable before stopping. Let the car idle for a few minutes to allow the new fluid to seep into the system.

Brake fluid is a type of fluid that is used to stop a car. Brake fluid is usually kept in a reservoir inside the car, and it is released when the brake pedal is pressed.
If you have a Honda Crv 2011 model, there is a chance that your brake fluid may not be flush. This can cause problems with your brakes, and it may even require replacement of the brakes.
To flush your brake fluid:
1) Park your car in a safe place.
2) Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir.
3) Pour enough brake fluid into the reservoir to cover the bottom of the container.
4) Replace the cap on the reservoir and make sure it is properly sealed.
5) Drive your car slowly until you notice the brakes stopping as expected.
Conclusion
Brake fluid can go a long way in prolonging the life of your brake system. To flush it, pour about two cups of solvent (like brake cleaner) into the reservoir and turn the key to the on position. Let the car idle for about 15 minutes while allowing all the air out of the system. Once it has run for that amount of time, turn off the ignition and let it sit for another five minutes before refilling with new brake fluid.
