Odd question about Honda's DW-1 fluid
Hi guys,
I just bought a case of DW-1 online. I plan on doing a 3x3 along with my pressure switches, and a few other maintenance things. The case arrived last night. The issue is this: the bottles look different than the pics I've seen online. The pics I've seen show a grey bottle with a very green. square-cut label. My bottles, while also grey, have a much darker, greyish-green label. Also, the top and right side of the label isn't square-cut, but rather wavy. Everything else about the bottle looks fine. I just want to make sure I'm not using substandard or fake fluid.
Here's a pic of the bottle I usually see:
And here's what arrived:
Any input at all? Thanks much in advance!!!
Eric

It says "Honda Genuine"
Link to where you bought it from?
They could have just updated the bottle or changed the label.

this could be an old label since I bought my at Honda dealer and it has green color on the label.
