Is there a difference between these two PS fluids? My brother and I were talking about it and he said that the Dealer fluid is the one recommended for most hondas, and that the other brand COASTAL is the rota knockoff brand. I have been using COASTAL brand I hope it doens't affect my ride?


This leads me to another question on PS. The resevoir is connected to a black looking tube that goes all the way under the pulleys. Where is the PS pump located? I have a leak and im trying to find out where I should look for possilbe cracks/leaks. thanks

 

almost all powersteering components are powdered metal sintered parts there is functionally no difference between a toyota honda or domestic powersteering pump as the factory i work for makes the same part for all the big three and toyota and some for honda all with different id numbers. i would assume that there cant be much difference in the fluids asthe both meet the api standards .
