The type of brake fluid that should be used in the 2012 Honda CR-V is Honda Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 and the part number for it is 08798-9008. When adding fluid there is a MINImum and maximum line on the outside of the reservoir, don't let it get below the MINImum line or above the maximum line. Also when checking or adding fluid wipe off the cap so no dirt or anything gets mixed in. Brake fluid helps to transfer force into pressure to make it easier for You to brake the vehicle. The fluid is important because without it You wouldn't be able to brake the vehicle. You should change the brake fluid every 3 years or so or You might run into some problems.
