Finally, after 7.5yrs and 80k miles I’ve decided it’s time bleed my brakes (I know - long overdue, and it’s the only fluid in the car that hasn’t been replaced yet). Decided to order one of the pressure bleeders - SpeediBleed in particular. And I have to say, that thing is awesome. Took me around 1.5hrs and 1l bottle of break fluid. As per Honda manual, due to electronic parking brake, rear needs to bled twice - first time, then 5 times EPB actuated, and then bleeding again. Haven’t bled the clutch since access from the top is quite difficult and requires air box removal (will bleed it from underneath when changing the oil in 1k miles). Maybe a placebo effect, but brakes feel a bit sharper. Happy motoring folks
Bleeding the brakes on my ‘17 Civic

Same here and it is a good feeling
Must
Must be the break fluid.
I used a Motive pressure bleeding tank on my '17 Civic, and it was a pleasure to use.
Last time (which was 2 or 3 years ago) I checked on motive bleeders, they didn’t have Honda dedicated setup (I might be wrong). The cool thing about speedibleed is that you hook it up to the tire, and it provides continuous pressure, so no pumping needed.
I’ve just never had same effect (feeling) when I changed the fluid on my wife’s Pilot

Wise choice on the SpeediBleed OP.
I just ordered a speedi-bleed and had them make me one to use with my air compressor.
I honestly do not like the idea of using air from a tire - I have seen some VERY moist air inside of tires. That moisture will contaminate the new fluid.
It is not. Probably there was small air pocket somewhere that got pushed out.
I guess my comment went over your heads.

Was the break fluid of choice coffee, soda, beer?

Hahaha, now it makes sense . The break fluid of choice was sugar free Red Bull (I don’t like RB btw, but my wife does…so, here we are)I guess my comment went over your heads.

Yesterday I used that adapter pictured above with my Motive and it worked quite well. Of course having to re-bleed the rear brakes and follow a specific wheel order was very time consuming while sitting on the ground. Anyway my '20 Accord's brake pedal is now a bit firmer with a better initial bite. The old fluid was was the 4 yr old factory fill replaced with Prestone DOT 3. I ran a quart of fresh fluid.
