Yes and no.

It doesn't have to be genuine but it has to be a honda specific type of fluid, honda power steering uses a very thick fluid.

Way I see it you got 3 methods.

1. Use honda power steering fluid
2. Use Penrite HPSO (honda power steering oil)
3. Add a special additive sold by lubeguard to any power steering fluid (basically thickens it)

if you want to be completely safe, just buy one from Honda dealer.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to cbauto again.

[PJT]

No. I use Penrite. It's fine.

[amant02]

I;ve only used real honda stuff.

But a fair few mechanics who are honda people, have told me that penrite is alrite too.

Should check if your f2n really has k20. I think could be a L15a if using electricity.

Its roughly same price here. That's why I went with OE.

[cbauto]

Why is electric P/S worse?

[amant02]

I find the Jazz's less responsive... ''too light" when going around corners.

Maybe less responsive is not the word for it. Cos eletric motors will be more repsonsive then a hydraulic system.

Hmmm feedback to the driver? How the steering feel when taking a corner aggressively.



Sure I understand less maintenance, less moving parts, less power from motor taken away etc etc.

Lmao. So gullible

[amant02]

Okay I know i get judged wen I post shit liek this.

See how when the back starts to slide out a little bit during mid corner.

The Type R steering gave more a direct feedback? Vs the Jazz feel like a female version.
