The power steering fluid that goes in a Honda CR-V is fully synthetic power steering fluid. It is recommended to use genuine Honda power steering fluid and not any other type of fluid to avoid damaging the pump and/or rack. You can purchase the appropriate power steering fluid at any local auto parts store. It is important to monitor the fluid in the reservoir and do a flush once the color gets noticeably dark.

What happens if you use the wrong power steering fluid in a Honda?
If you have a Honda or Acura then putting in ordinary power steering fluid that does not say it is Honda compatible will dissolve the seals in the rack in less than a month. Also the wrong fluid will not lubricate the pump or rack ( or steering box ) properly or it could aerate within the lines.
What happens if I use wrong power steering fluid?
Power steering systems are typically pretty robust, so likely the only real damage would be seals, causing leaks. But you could potentially have a damaged rack and pinion or pump.
What power steering fluid can I use in my Honda CRV?
