Is there an alternate fluid to use besides the Genuine Honda fluid on my Acura? I've seen a Prestone Honda/Acura one but I wasn't sure if it was good.

 

I'd stick with the oe fluid unless you wanted a more expensive, full synthetic fluid. There is at least one person in the 3rd gen section who has been running Redline atf, but it is not recommended by the manufacturer. BG p/n 334 is a full synthetic that they do recommend for honda, among others. You'd probably be safe with anything that specifies honda/acura on the label, but the factory stuff is reasonably priced, and wear issues are almost non-existant with it.

 

^ I'd agree with staying with the Honda ps fluid

 

OEM only, it is formulated to match the transmission.

 

I've used the Prestone for Honda/Acura p/s fluid for over 60k miles when my p/s fluid started leaking. Even after the leak was repaired I continued to use it and I never had an issue with it.

 

Hondas are really picky about two things:

Automatic transmission fluid
Power steering fluid

I'd recommend sticking with OE. Other's that are commenting that they've had success with other fluids: I'm glad it works for them but you certainly can't go wrong with OE.
