At WM yesterday when I was looking for a bottle of brake fluid and saw this on the shelf. Something like $6.50 for a 12 oz bottle. They had Prestone PSF for Honda/Acura at maybe $2.58 and their standard PSF for less than $2. All were the same size.
Now I look at the description and I'm not sure why anyone would buy it.

Prestone Power Steering Fluid for Asian Vehicles is a premium full-synthetic formulation specifically engineered for Asian vehicles including, Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus and other Asian manufactured vehicles.
So they've got the Honda/Acura PSF on the shelf next to it for less than half the price. Toyota and Lexus use ATF and you can buy a quart of the stuff (like Castrol) for less than $5 or maybe the multi-import version for the same price as this 12 oz bottle of Prestone PSF. Seems a bit odd, and I'm wondering if there's really any product that really replaces both Honda PSF and ATF.
However, I do remember my parents' Camry, and whatever was in there at the factory wasn't ATF. It was amber colored and not ATF. Same goes for the factory fluid in my WRX. At a dealer parts counter I was recommended the Subaru ATF-HP.
