![]() ![]() I recently ran an AutoRx cycle on my PS system and now have a mix of Honda (2 bottles) and Bardahl (1/4 bottle), only because I used my 3rd bottle of Honda fluid as a flush to get as much of the old fluid out as possible.

I have never had any leaks or noise after using it and have had it my 1969 Dart since 1989. Consult your owner’s manual for the location of the reservoir in the engine compartment for help. Aftermarket power steering fluid is perfectly OK to use as long as it says Honda on it. ![]()
