My friend just acquired a "99 Honda Passport and I'm helping her do odds and ends on it to bring it up to snuff and one of the things I'm going to do is "service" the power steering fluid via the turkey baster method. On the cap to the power steering reservoir it says to only use power steering fluid. Okay, fine, but I'm a little confused about something.
I know the Honda Passport is basically a rebranded Isuzu Rodeo and I thought they were identical except for the badging. But does the passport have a different power steering system than the Rodeo? Meaning does it have a Honda specific one?
I ask because when I look for power steering fluid for it I get a lot of generic answers that say to use only Honda specific power steering fluid in Honda cars. And when I search PSF for the Isuzu Rodeo it gives me different types of fluid.
So are the power steering systems really different, or is the search algorithm just keying on the word Honda when I'm directed to Honda specific PSF?
