Why oh why when proper power steering fluid is so readily available? You don't have to use geuine Honda PS fluid if you don't want to...there's Castrol, valvoline, Shell etc...
having said that, being hydraulic fluid, they could all be the same composition afterall...
Imagine, creating an oil - Leo's Magic All-purpose Oily Lub (LMAOL) - Who'd buy?
So il take it that fork oil wuld be a NO NO?? lolQuote:

But price of fork oil from Castrol acutally more expensive than buying from Honda hence I never bother getting fork oil from say supercheap auto or repco. If you need the right PS oil on sundays where honda dealers are closed then yeah.
