Honda Power Steering Fluid
My PS fluid needs topping off. Is this something special I *must* get from
the dealer or can I just top-off with generic PS fluid from Autozone etc? The PS fluid reservoir cap says to use only genuine Honda PS fluid for top-off, though. What's the consensus? I've used generic in my Toyota for years - no problem. Thanks Kofi |

It's in a bottle whose labeling clearly indicates on the front it's for Hondas. |
