Calendar item

Honda PSF only. The 2010 Odyssey is hydraulic-assist — the wrong fluid makes the pump whine.

Why it matters

Honda PSF has a unique friction modifier. ATF or generic PSF can glaze the pump and rack.

Shop notes

Check with the engine off and the fluid cold.

A groaning pump on lock-to-lock is often low or oxidized fluid — service it before the pump fails.

This is a top-off / exchange item, not a rack replacement.
