Lol dunno why people get worked up over the interwebs, its like all 4dlulz

I see what Bludger is saying and i myself keep a spare bottle of P/S fluid handy

BUT

yes from my previous work history at honda, they always said it never had to be changed.

[mrwillz]

i only said it for the lulz

having said that im gona change my ps fluid anyway lol

[xtc.thai]

lol i dont really care i just love it when someone gets wrecked

[bennjamin]

Guys -

The PS system is sealed - and should never need TOP UPS or USE fluid. It WILL eventually need replacement if deemed "too dirty"- that is , that it affects steering in some way. OR if you use non oem fluid.

i'm with you man. for the little money spent its worth it over 200k old ps fluid. stuff the haters!

[xtc.thai]

Ok, where to start...........

I was just gonna leave this, but mr thai here got himself too big an ego.
I really don't care about what you're saying in regards to the P/S fluid never needing to be changed. Just basic common sense man. Whats better, old 200k fluid or new fluid.

But hey, who cares anymore, the fact of the matter is that you're the best champ when you go to gym with your mates bragging that you "totally Owned" some guy named Bludger on the forums. Also bragging to your work mates as well.

good on you.


lmao

totally wrecked me??? in which way?

u know which way i dont need to say anymore lol i told u I dont care...its over.

I have a 94 Accord and went to buy generic power steering fluid. The chart said to get Castrol Fork 15 but this doesn't seem right plus it's green and currently mine is red. Should I just stick with OEM?

As bennjamin stated though my fluid is slightly low and dirty but power steering seems to be working fine without any noise so can I just leave it as is?

If so would I consider a flush if steering gets stiff or it make a noise?

it'll usually make noise when its low from leakage and when you go around a corner.

similar noise to when emptying a bathtub drain.

top up or flush, either will do.

[riruiz_88]

are you meant to see straight through the fluid, looking from the top? cause when i was filling up the reservoir some brown stuff came up and mixed with the new fluid. now it looks just like before.
should i flush it again?
