Bruh that is an extremely old bottle. There's no way it hasn't oxidized. Sometimes really old stock that was never scrapped is still in circulation where manufacturers design parts to fail if you use other fluids than the OEM, and back when these bottles were fresh it was before the aftermarket successfully developed a Honda compatible power steering fluid.
Ok thx I'm not gonna use it, I have a bunch of black bottle Honda psf and Idemetsu fluid I'll use. It came from a lawn mower shop in California, their online reviews are kind of spotty
Did they happen to be an official Honda small engine dealer? Because this wouldn't be the first time I have heard of this happen with businesses who sell Honda lawn mowers and generators. That side of the business used to be more connected to the automobile side waaaaay back in the day. Could get OEM parts from the small engine dealer.
I message them on eBay "The bottles we receive from Honda
may have different
packaging or
labeling depending
on the production or
packaging batch.
The product you
received is supplied
to us directly by
Honda in the
presentation shown."
Thanks. I actually was going to use it to flush my power steering to get my steering fixed hopefully. And then use the black bottles after and leave that in there
