Power steering fluid

[mattyd]

Hey guys,

I dont have my manual infront of me, but in desperate need of oem power steering fluid for my dc5r. Does anyone know what i need to buy?
I need to flush out the system asap as we had to put mobil ATF fluid in there. (honda wasnt open) Now found out that this may be harmful to the whole system.

Thanks!

Get honda fluid from honda. It should be under 20 bucks for 1l which will be enough to flush it.
EDIT: i pushed the wrong numbers lol

Power Steering Fluid & ATF = Same thing, Unless your steering system uses that clear looking hydraulic fluid!

Manual says that the capacity of the system is only 0.7L. 2L should be heaps to flush out the system if you want to make sure you get all the old fluid out.

Flushing the System can get Messy, make sure you wear heaps old clothes so you can change quick smart, otherwise it will look like you got perioded on by a chick!

Get honda fluid from honda. It should be under 20 bucks for 4l which will be enough to flush it.

You're kidding right? 1 litre sells for about $26-30 at dealers.
