Honda Genuine Fluids
Honda Power Steering Fluid and Brake Fluid
These unique fluids contain specific additives designed to help prevent fluid oxidisation and internal wear, the most crucial areas that influence power steering noise and brake performance.
Using a non-genuine brake or power steering fluid can cause corrosion and potentially decrease the life expectancy of the affected systems.
For performance and peace of mind, use only Honda Genuine Brake and Power Steering Fluids.
