Eh, well I'll give it a while I'm sure it can last a week or so.
I'll probably just do it myself, its not that hard is it?

Its kind of a pain in the *** because you have to feed the system while you drain out the old stuff. I'd take it back to the mechanic who fvcked up, its his responsibility to put the correct fluid in a Honda. Any mechanic should know honda P/S systems do not use transmission fluid.

Yeah, I heard it can f**k up the bearings/pump if you have the wrong power steering fluid in a Honda. Have them put OEM fluid just to be safe. It was their mistake. You shouldn't have to pay for their mistake. That's why it was free. And if their gonna ***** about it, have Honda write something on paper saying that OEM is necessary. Honda used green coolant in 98-00 accords and way before they came out with blue coolant. But blue does look pretty cool.

It seems like the Dex-Cool stuff is like the plague for our cars. lol
