Im low on it and need a refill. the cap says to use power steering fluid made specifically by honda. have any of you used another brand? any diff? how much was a bottle of it by honda?

 

It is recommended to use Honda Genuine Fluid. I believe it's about 4 - 6 bucks a bottle. Just as how our engine act differently with 89 gas octane compare to 92 (the recommended)

 

okay that makes sense. i can't get a bottle at autozone huh? or pepboys? do i only have to go to honda/acura dealerships? i want to know before i make a trip out there..

 

You will only find it at a dealer.

 

Go to your local Autozone or Auto shop and you can find some specially for import vehicles if i remember correctly... when my idler failed i had to remove the line for the PS to change the belts etc... So i ran to my local Autozone and got myself some PS fluid...

You can go to your stealership and get some... or the honda stealership...

BTW: it took 1 and 1/2 bottles of it... so if your just low... buy one... if you spilled some like i did... buy 2...

 

Here... WAL-MART

 

oooo....getting it! just saw that i'm just below the MIN in the resev. i needs it

 

oh shiet.. how much was the bottle?

is that a rolex?? :d

 

It really does act differently with higher octane. I got my TL about 6 months ago and have used 89, but the other day I put in 93 and MAN, what a difference.

 

About 5 bucks... I'll get the receipt when my wife comes home... she checked out while i took my baby girl to see the flowers in the garden center...


Rolex??? I wish... i'm not that rich... Citizen... $100.00 at JCPenny's

BTW: The differance in ocatane... even if i only have 2 bucks in my pocket... i don't care... its premium regardless... I wouldn't put anything else unless it was an emergency...

 

How about brake fluid? I'm thinking of getting the brake fluid changed. Does Honda Brake fluid make a difference or will any generic DOT 3/4 do? What have you guys used?
Thanks!

 

Hey-hey, I see a painted tail! Is it? Are they?

 

apparently you can get a pint (i think that's the size) at the honda dealer for $2.

 

Dot 4 for our TL's... well that is for the 2.5 as far as I know... that is what is I was recommended...

Stockies!!! must be the reflextion or the angle of the tails... I wish they were painted or the inspires... won't have the inspires until tomorrow... tuesday...

 

Hey Spooky, where did you buy the license plate frame for the 2.5TL? I've been looking for one since quite a bit and i ended up buying a generic chrome plate that says Acura. But I wouldn't mind spending on a plate customized for the 2.5 if I can find one.

 

i find it amazing that in such a 'small' picture, there have been so many details asked about lol. nice that others have a mind for detail!

 

I thought I saw a power fluid made by champion.

 

Its a custom plate...



I got it at a store that makes the custom plates called "Poetic License" here in town...

 

i like the custom plate frame thing, looks exquisite (not sure if i spelt that right)....lol

 

you can run most any ps fluid.. Ive NEVER had any issues with it..

Ive completely built a rack also.. I had a custom ratio type r one with quaife gears in my CTR car.

Honda fluid is good, most of it is just penzoil, valvoline, or quakerstate rebadged in a fancy bottle though.

The only fluid thats crucial to use is honda mtf, and even then its better to use GM synchromesh anyhow..Let alone if you have an aftermarket LSD, then use the synchromesh friction modified..
