Default powerd steering fluid Problems

I was comming back from a trip when i noticed that my powerd steering fluid level was really low . this was in the middle of noware and i needed to put some fluid in but they only have clear valvaline powerd steering fluid in a blue bottle. When i got back home i looked at the back of the bottle and noticed that its not recomanded for honda cars.

Can this fluid damage my power steering components ?

I went to a nearest automotive store and got some honda powerd steering fluid BUT in the back of the bottle is says NOT RECOMANDA FOR HONDA Powered steering uint. WTF is going on ,

my original fluid is brown , all the once i keep buying is clear , what should i get ?

*** the power steering fluid is BARDAHL for honda cars*****

Let me get this straight. You went and bought some genuine Honda Power Steering fluid, and on the back of the bottle, it read "NOT FOR USE IN HONDA'S"???

Herrmmm, maybe you should of bought some Toyota power steering fluid.

if i were you i would flush out that old power steering fluid
with honda psf, start car, move your steering wheel around
then shut it off and then disconnect the hose from the resevior
