I liked that this made the steering feel a little easier to turn, compared to pretty clear & fresh Prestone Honda/Acura steering fluid.It seems ideal for Asian cars with an underdrive power steering pulley, like my 1999 Accord V6, or cars that seem harder to turn cause of cold or whatever reason.The specs on Idemitsu’s website shows it is lighter in viscosity than Honda or Prestone (both of those are about the same, maybe they blend thick in case of long term use and wear from particles when it’s worn).Price was $3.86.

Ok so I have a 2004 Honda Accord. My car is old and it has started acting up, I was having power steering issues, leaks, and even had to have my pump replaced. Even after that, the PS fluid was still leaking or being used way to fast. After my car was parked for a long time, it would sort of get stuck and then do a really hard kick into gear (no mechanic ever figured out what it was). My steering wheel was HARD, it made crackling sounds, and even when the fluid was replaced it made little chewbacca sounds every time I turned from side to side. I thought I had to replace the o-ring. Before doing that, I decided to buy a PS fluid made specifically for HONDAS. I found this on Amazon and HOLY MOLY!!!!!!! This stuff is magic!!! My steering wheel is sooooo soft and smooth now. The car has stopped making the noises, and it stopped kicking harshly forward when I go into gear after being parked for a while. Honestly this stuff is amazing and I can’t believe the right fluid for my car has made such a drastic difference. I really thought my car was giving out but this has given it new life. I will never be without this for as long as I own a Honda vehicle. BUY IT!!!

Use of the wrong fluid can result in leaks, damage to your power steering pump, and too-light steering feel. This is the right fluid for your Toyota or Honda vehicle to ensure that the OE engineering protocols are upheld. This fluid should be generally be replaced every five years or 50,000 miles to ensure seals are properly nourished and the pump is not subject to unnecessary wear.

I flushed both of my Accords, a 5th gen. and an 8th gen. V6, replacing the PSF with this. I read other reviews claiming it improved the feel, but who would have imagined fluid could make such a difference! I was literally making turns with my pinky finger afterward, just to convince myself it was really possible.Not gonna lie, I’m somewhat concerned, seeing as this isn’t quite like the Honda-made stuff. The steering pump on the V6 seemed noisy after filling up with this, and I don’t remember it ever being loud. Then again, the pump used to whine with the rack at the stops, and this cleared up that problem, so fair’s fair. (Still, someone please comment if you have any theories why the pump would be noisier now.)I’ll have to update my review if I’m forced to swap out half the steering system in a year, but assuming no harm comes, this brand of PSF seems like quality stuff, and it doesn’t hurt to save a few bucks, either.

This is not a cheap fluid but is used where PS4 fluid is called for. It is an amber color and a mild smelling hydraulic fluid. Most likely it is synthetic because it pours well cold or hot and doesnโt seem to change viscosity with temperature either.When flushing the existing fluid out of the vehicle be sure to Jack it up and support the vehicle on Jack stands, leaving the tires hanging and free to turn the steering wheel easily. Doing this flush on the ground is damaging for the components involved because the weight of the vehicle is what you will be fighting against and so will the components have to bear the weight of the vehicle without any hydraulic assistance. Yanking the steering wheel and the driveline around is not what I would recommend and is the โhardโ way to do it. It makes the job so much easier to Jack it up. When you find the lowest point of the hydraulic system go ahead and remove or disconnect one side of the hosing and let it drain into a catch pan or bottle and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock and you wonโt believe what will come out of the lower part of the steering system. The dirt and debris usually settle at the lowest point, in the rack most of the time, and thatโs also where most of the fluid is kept. If you siphon out the reservoir only you are only going to get out less than half of the fluid. Youโd need to open the lowest part of the system to get all the rest out. I also recommend a flush or two to really get the debris out and then refill with fresh fluid.If the vehicle is older and the fluid is discolored then it is time to change the fluid before you have a more serious problem like the rack and pinion wearing out and needing replacement. Stop putting it off it is life and death if the steering fails. Check all the other components while youโre down there under the vehicle.
