I always prefer genuine Honda PS fluid, but you shouldn't have a problem running a different brand, as long as the bottle specifically states "For use in Honda/Acura vehicles".

OEM Honda fluid isn't that expensive. If you have a dealership near you, its best to use that. Simplest thing to do is just remove it. P/S is overrated.

My power steering started to leak everywhere the time I used non OEM PS fluid. And it voided the warranty of the car, that sucks!
Stick to OEM honda has a different grade on PS fluid.
