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.

Honda’s specifically formulated transmission fluid offers superior performance, resulting in a smoother gear change and prolonged life. Using a non-genuine transmission fluid can impact on the performance of your transmission in the form of difficult gear change, shudder and low fluid pressure.

Nearly New Cars and Ex Demo Cars - Honda dealership
by Bassetts Honda 17 Nov, 2020
Nearly New Cars in our Honda Dealership in Swansea. Since demo models are often used at showrooms to tempt buyers, they tend to be higher spec variants packed with features. However, as new models are launched and Honda demo cars clock up a few miles, they are often offered for sale. Ex demo cars are usually high-spec models because dealers want to show off the best options and packages to potential customers. This means your budget might stretch even further than you originally thought, benefitting from options such as upgraded infotainment packages or larger alloys.

Honda e - Electric car
by Auto Express 11 Nov, 2020
The MINI Electric and Honda e fight it out for their share of the all-electric supermini segment. The Honda e proves the point because its retro-inspired individual design means this small EV looks like nothing else on the road. Its compact footprint means it will likely be used for shorter trips, just like the MINI Electric, so both of these models don’t really major on range.
McLaren Honda
by Bassetts Honda 10 Nov, 2020
The McLaren MP4/4, also known as the McLaren-Honda MP4/4, is one of the most successful Formula One car designs of all time. Driven by teammates Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, the car competed during the 1988 Formula One season. It was designed by American engineer Steve Nichols, the full responsibility for the design of the car having been conferred on him by Ron Dennis. Gordon Murray, as Technical Director, subsequently confirmed this in an internal memo allocating responsibilities for the design department, nominating Nichols as chief designer for the car, and giving himself the role of liaising between the drawing office and production.
