I highly suggest using Toyota transmission fluid for the flush. On Honda's if you use other fluid then oem steering components start to fail. The quart of Toyota fluid is inexpensive I think $10-$12 a quart. Some will notice more improvement then others probably do to when it was changed out last time. My fluid most likely had 160k miles on.

just an addition to your diy.

1. remove the oil from the reservoir
2. disconnect both connection
3. remove the reservoir
4. clean it up.

this way, you'll know if your new oil is becoming dirtier again. that's what I did.

Did you release the metal clip to slide the reservoir out or did you remove the 3 bolts on the metal framing holding it to remove it? I haven't loaded up alldata to look at for any official docs on the removal but from looking at it it looked like those were the two options. The bolts on mine are pretty solid based on rust and I didn't want to bend the metal clip too much.

1 quart is enough, after 3/4 if the quart you start seeing pink fluid coming out. I used 1 1/4 quarts to do it I easily could of done it with 1 .

Just finished up on my t4r and gx. I spilled most of my old reservoir fluid. I would recommend hang some kind of plug ready when you do this. Also when you are done you need to start the engine and give it. A few turns. I took my t4r for a test drive and thought I broke somethi ng bc the ps pump was whining. Added more fluid and now it's good.


I can say after 170k on the old fluid the steering feels better.

I actually don't remember how I removed it. all I remember, I took it out, cleaned up the gunk inside until it's squeaky clean.

I needed exactly 1 quart. 3/4 quart until it runs pink and then the rest when you start the truck and it sucks down a bit.

Would Royal Purple ATF work for this? I assume any ATF that works for our transmissions would work for the power steering as well, considering the factory probably filled em with the same stuff

Followed instructions here and did the reservoir cleaning. Glad I did it, there was almost no fluid in reservoir and what I thought was fluid was caked on shit. Soaked it in gas for a few hours and mostly clean.

Steers like a new truck! Thanks.
