if its cheap dont get it and also honda would be the best and heres why.... wont freeze,wont corride rust or any chemical change,lasts longer, saftey issues.. lots of reasons oh yea dot 3 is the recomended one unless u are doing MAJOR brake conversions and work then use something different but just stock then no also better brake fluid wont give u better braking power or distance.

In the owners manual it states to use Hondas DOT 3 or any aftermarket brand as long as its DOT3. I've been in the car repair business for over 10 years and have never heard of brake fluid freezing. Of course I live in Florida so it doesn't drop below 32° very often.
