Fluid Replacement

CAUTION: Always use Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Check the reservoir at regular intervals, and add the recommended fluid as necessary.
1. System Capacity (3.2TL & 3.2CL)
  
  1.1 liters at disassembly
2. System Capacity (MDX)
  
  1.22 liters
3. System Capacity With Accessory Power Steering Cooler (MDX)
  
  1.26 liters
4. Reservoir Capacity (All Models)
  
  0.4 Liters

CAUTION: Take care not to spill the fluid on the body and parts. Wipe off any spilled fluid at once.

Raise the reservoir, then disconnect the return hose to drain the reservoir.
Connect a hose of suitable diameter to the disconnected return hose, and put the hose end in a suitable container. Start engine, let it run at idle, and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the engine. Discard the fluid.
Reinstall the return hose on the reservoir. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line. Start the engine and run it at fast idle, then turn the steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air from the system. Recheck the fluid level and add more if necessary. Do not fill the reservoir beyond the upper level line.
