I run Pentosin and ATE brake fluids in my Euro cars, but have also run a lot of Prestone and Valvoline DOT 4 in various applications. For Hondas, Ive stuck with Honda brake fluid, because I thought there were issues a few years ago with Honda and Toyota brake systems with other fluids. Seems contrary to what Id expect for something as simple and consistent with brake fluid. But I havent used much yet...
The prestone powersteering fluid is pretty expensive it's like $7 for a 12oz bottle, it's actually cheaper to buy OE Honda, I used the prestone stuff in my mother's odyssey when I switched out the fluid a few months ago, it works well enough I guess, not sure there's any reason to use it over the Honda. When I looked at the prestone SDS though it appears to be about half PAO mied with hydrocracked mineral oil so it may be more durable than the Honda fluid.
What objective evidence do we have that durability of Honda PSF is an issue, or that oxidation is an issue?
PAO as the end all be all is a wife's tale.
I like it, I love it, I want.....
