I have an 06 Ody, I have searched a bunch of brake pad and bleeding threads, but can't find a mention of what order to bleed the brakes for a fluid change. Does it even matter? As long as you get new fluid at each valve are you good to go?

thanks,
John

I don't think it matters that much.

As a rule, I always bleed my cars/vans in diagonal manner:

- L Front and R Rear as a pair
- R Front and L Rear as a pair

This is because cars/vans are designed with diagonal circuits for safety reasons.

It should be very useful.

Just FYI: Honda specifies the proper order as the following:
LF, RF, RR, LR.

Yes, that is not "normal" for most brands but this is specified in both the 2007 Odyssey service manual, and my 2004 Acura TSX service manual. It's a Honda thing.
