Is there any special pattern to drain the fluid out from wheels? Or the furthest wheel should go first? plus can I use DOT4 or have to use DOT3 fluid on my 2014 X ?

thanks

same traditional bleeding methods, however, use the attached bleed pattern as reference.

That is the correct sequence for the older generations of MDXes, so I would assume they did the same for the 3G, but nobody has confirmed. SuperTech confirmed this sequence for the older gen, but he's MIA now Anyhow, that's the way I planned on doing it as well. People have switched LR and RR before to no detriment, so not really a big issue if we swap those as long as you do LF->RF and then probably ->RR->LR

the screen shot was pulled directly from the 2014 Service Manual. you can entrust in such information.

When bleeding air out of the system, the sequence is very important on certain models. When only changing fluid, it makes no difference. Before doing a fluid change I always activate the ABS a few times to move stale fluid out of the modulator assembly.

Sorry for asking silly question but how can I activate ABS? Is it just press the brake padel a few times before draining the fluid out?

Not silly. Best way is to find a dirt road and brake hard. Also can use a soft shoulder on the side of the road and just drive with the passenger tires on the dirt/grass. A wet road will also do it.
