I see a lot of different answers to this question… what’s your experience with using non-Honda power steering fluid?
I’ve used other brands as a temporary fix. But honestly, use Honda brand if you can. The other fluids I tried caused foaming and made the pump really noisy.
You don’t need Honda brand, but it’s highly recommended if you want to keep those expensive power steering parts working properly.
I’d highly recommend using Honda brand fluid.
Yeah, definitely stick with Honda’s fluid, especially for ATF. You can use other oils, but for most fluids, I stick with Honda. If your dealer is charging too much, try buying it online.
