Hello again guys,
This is a step-by-step video tutorial on how to do the complete brake fluid flush maintenance on your 2016 Acura RDX. The difficulty level for this DIY project is on the fairly easy side, as long as you have the right tools and the time. So when do you normally perform this maintenance task on your vehicle and where do you start first? We will go over all of that in this video.
So lets Get Fixing with Get Oats!
The tools I used in in this video are listed in the video and I will also list them below as well.
* Bosch DOT 3, 4, 5.1 Brake Fluid .. can be purchased online or at any local parts store.
* 10mm Crescent Wrench
* Empty clear plastic bottle and clear plastic tubing
* Floor Jack and Jack Stands
* Some Rags
I have scoured the internet looking for the correct way to perform this task for this particular vehicle, and I came up with this method to perform the task. It is the universal method recommended and it works great and I have not had any problems since. However, this is only one way to perform the task, as there are multiple different ways. If you have any suggestions or comments, please note them below. I would love to hear from you what way you think is the best and if there are any suggestions to perform the task better.
If you have any questions please leave me a comment below. I'll try my best to respond back as soon as I can. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more videos like this in the future.
Thanks for watching.

You're amazing omg! How much does this method change for a 2020? Acura was performing maintenance on my car and wanted to charge me $350. Then had the audacity to say "well as a female I don't think you want to do it yourself". Man listen I only let you do the maintenance so if anything goes wrong you're liable. I've changed my own oil completely and I'm competent enough to perform all other maintenance since my pops is a mechanic I learned. The freaking gull! Old fart stuck in the 40's

@K Gamez... Sorry you had to go through that at the "stealership". Lol. But yeah, that is so messed up. I'm glad you do your own maintenance, not only does it save you money, but you will also begin to appreciate and know your car more intimately. Kudos to you. As for the 2029 model, I don't think it will change that much, but I would probably look it up in your manual to see if it does. Good luck and get fixing. 😊

Great tutorial video! I did have one question though, what size clear plastic tubing is that?

@getoats Год назад

@Andrew Nguyen... Thank you for your comment. The plastic tubing i used was a 1/4" tubing that you can get either online or at an aquarium store. Hope this helps. 😉 Good luck.

@albertta2025 Год назад

Great video!! Just wondering what size of rubber tubing did you use?

@getoats Год назад

@Albert Ta... Thank you for the kind feedback! The tubing diameter size I used was 1/4". It's almost the same size as what an aquarium pump uses. Hope this helps, and have fun bleeding your brakes. 😉

nice! but why you need 100% new brake fluid in the system? we will change it every 3 years anyway, right?

@getoats 2 года назад

@Bryan Lee... You will need to use at least close to 100% of new brake fluid because old brake fluid loses its performance over time and is prone to absorbing water over time as well, which in turn can be disastrous even if there is like 10% old fluid left in the reservoir. Cause then that 90% new fluid get contaminated and will eventually lose its performance much quicker than if you used at least 100% new fluid. So it is recommended to not mix the old with the new and to replace every 3 years with cose to 100% new fluid if possible... For your safety and form the best performance for your car. Hope that helped. 😉
