Just noticed my power steering fluid is on the lower level. At the moment, the only thing I have handy is Valvoline Syn Power brake fluid. Could I use that for the power steering fluid or should I just go out and buy regular power steering fluid? Thanks in advance.

 

yes. It's no.

edit: Oops, no. I thought you were talking about brake and clutch fluid. These 2 are the same.

no

clutch m/c fluid = brake fluid
power steering fluid = power steering fluid

 

No, they are not the same.

Go buy some Honda powersteering fluid.

 

Oh man that one hurt like hell....... Wheww~!
No do not use it, It's not the same.....
Takes Mike's advice....Go buy some Honda powersteering fluid....

 

Absolutely don't mix the two. Typically brake components use 'EPR' seals and o-rings, where as power steering system components use 'BUNA' seals and o-rings. Putting the wrong fluid in either system will surely destroy the seals and o-rings.

 

I told you Leo, you should have just listened to me...

 

power steering fluid = auto tranny fluid.
