I have a friend of mine that owns a shop. He absolutely refuses to use anything buy Honda fluids in Honda power steering and automatic transmissions.
I asked him and he said that he has used other fluids that say they meet the Honda spec, but the transmissions and power steering pumps gave him big problems. He switched to using Honda branded fluids and has had no more issues with his customer's cars. He said it costs more but is worth it to have less headaches.
I am pretty sure Honda doe not make ATF and Power Steering Fluid that they put into their cars, so what is so magical about their elixir?
