If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 2010 Civic brake fluid change question
I'd say minimum of 2. One for the lines, one for the reservoir. More if you like to get fluid thoroughly moved around LOL
I use a fluid sucker and straw to empty the reservoir as much as possible first, then fill it (that's most of the first bottle) and use the sucker on each bleeder.
Um, when we did the brake hydraulic related recalls on the vans, they figured bleeding through 4 pedal strokes at each bleeder got any air all the way to each wheel and out.

Thank you sir, will likely grab 3 then. They should have some to add if they need a bit more, hopefully DOT3.
Much appreciated.
