Goodday House,
After months of Ignoring my Power steering fluid level,I made an observation today to find out its below the Low level lid.I know most manufacturers suggest a life time warranty but I guess my case is different.My issue now is do i top the PSF or flush out the old one? and/or any suggestion on brands to use as non is made available on the owners manual.I drive an 06/07 honda accord.Any Advice is welcomed.Thanks

@ Babs2aroks,

Greetings. I think a Power Steering Flush will be the best thing to do though it will be more expensive than simply topping off. But let's wait and see if Siena or any other expert will proffer an opinion.

Thanks for your contributions the steering is actually not having any problem turning, but since i noticed the low level,I have not been comfortable.I myself dont Fancy going to the Mechanics and in all honesty both cars i got from this forum have been good to me with no major problems or flaws as i try my best to keep a good scheduled maintanace. I think il stick to toping up the fluid but wouldnt i have to match the same fluid viscosity.Or steering fluids dont have any certai grade? and what product or grade does the manufacture suggest.thanks for the contributions and God bless.More Suggestions are welcomed

Just go to any reputable filling station to get the p.s fluid.

Buy a major Brand name.

Donot just put any PSF in your car.

FYI ,(I may be repeating myself again) Honda is the only car company that use some exclusive fluids in their cars.

The best fluid to use will be the Honda PSF(found at your local dealer), just as in their transmission. If you use regular PSF your system will foam up(I know cos I've done it)

Other rare option you may have is to look for a PSF bottle with "approved for Honda" on it I think valvoline makes one.At the back of a PSF bottle they'll write its specification and the ones its equivalent to with motor company. The one for Honda only has Honda on it.

thanks Sultaan,valvoline is a good brand but I have searched locally for it but to No avail.(after my first oil change with valvoline 5W-20) I have had to resort to mobil 20w50 which is the only grade in the nigerian market.I will have a look around tomorow for any alternative with "honda" on it

You should do all you acn to get the right oil /parts and go by a good service interval.
Read to section on oil change in the manual and see what they write on using 10w30, then you can imagine what happens when you use 20w50.

all you have to do is suck some of the PSF from reservior and top off with new compatible PSF fluid and repeat as desired instead of trying to pull apart and flush(if very dirty)
