    Hi guys, interchangeable ba ang ATF and Power Steering Fluid for Civic FD2009?

    I only have ATF kasi na na-pass on lang nung seller ng car sakin (2nd hand ito)

    Not a technical person I just drive it so wala masyadong alam sa kotse.

    Salamat.

    No, Honda has its own specific fluids for transmission and power steering. Also, only use Honda-specified fluids as their viscosity is different from the usual aftermarket fluids.

    Correct, for ps and atf, get those from Honda. Hindi naman malayo presyo.

    Yes, dati parang pareho lang eh or mas mura pa yata RP nun during that time.

    Never talaga ako naniwala sa honda na PSF na dapat OEM lang gagamitin. Wala naman difference yun power steering System nila let's say sa toyota.

    Rather be safe than sorry. With my old Accord 6th gen before, I observed that Honda’s ATF is different from their PSF. The PSF has a lighter viscosity.

    Good thing for new Honda owners as most Hondas nowadays have EPS already.

    I’d use Honda-specific fluids for Honda vehicles. That’s just how they designed their machines... not that I agree with that decision, but that’s how you’ll have to treat a Honda to make sure it lasts.

    You can, of course, use aftermarket fluids that are compatible on a Honda. But sometimes it’s hit or miss. With a Honda fluid, you’re 100% sure it’s going to be a hit. Further, they don’t cost any more expensive than aftermarket fluids anyway.

    Fluids that Hondas are known to be sensitive to are the PSF, ATF, CVTF, and coolant. For the engine oil, I am still partial on using Honda-branded ones, but I think the engine is more forgiving compared to the other hydraulic components.

    I don't cross used naman ATF and PSF, basta ATF for ATF and PSF for PSF.

    The last na honda models I didn't follow using OEM fluids are FD na crv gen 3

    If using aftermarket fluids for Honda, use Idemitsu as they are the fluids provider of Honda.

    Yep, that’s the right ATF. For PSF, it is PSF-S.

    Marami na bumili based off the ratings. I guess it is legit. Honda fluids are made by Idemitsu and the seller may have a source straight from Idemitsu.

    If it's legit, then Honda is making a killing by selling it at 2x the price [emoji857]

    Last time I bought from casa it was 600+ per liter

    Because they are running a business. Hindi kawang-gawa yung mga casa.

    the inflated-price syndrome is not unique to honda.
    other casa brands do this.
    someone in the industry said, casa makes more money in their servicing the cars than in their selling the cars.
