Honda Odyssey Power Steering Fluid Flush

[@kenstephens2248]

Probably the most articulate and thorough 'how to' video, I have ever watched on KZbin. Very well done. Everything is explained in depth and in terms that can easily be understood. Thank you.

[@piercedasian]

Ken Stephens thanks for watching!

[@keephiscommandmentsandlive9860]

@@piercedasian one more question if you don't mind. I just found out that the fluid leak and harder steering might be my rack and pinion and not my power steering pump! Do you have any knowledge on this matter because I'm just now learning about this potential problem 🤯

[@keephiscommandmentsandlive9860]

​@@piercedasianshot I'm on the wrong post

[@piercedasian]

@@keephiscommandmentsandlive9860 - only one question per day sir! lol j/k. The most common problem on these vans with the LACK of power steering boost is in fact the power steering pump OR it needs a fluid flush and reservoir upgrade. The reservoir isn't as important to change if you have a 2008 or newer van but 2005-2007 definitely needed the upgraded/revised version from Honda. The only time the rack and pinion need replacing is leaking. There isn't anything really in it other than a steering gear and the actual rods that move the tie rods. Since you mentioned you have a fluid leak, don't think its the rack... the high pressure hose on the steering rack to the power steering pump is notorious for leaking and somewhat easy to replace. It gives the false pretense that the rack is leaking so the best way to check is pressure wash with a degreaser the entire underside of your engine/steering rack/hoses and then drive it for a day or two and then get back underneath the car and see. I'm willing to bet the hose is leaking. If it is, then yes you lose pressure and hence why you have lack of boost.

[@JohnUllrey]

Everything is awesome! I just performed this maintenance procedure on my '07 Odyssey and it went off without a hitch. Thanks very much for your very clear and thorough instructions. I watched the video about three times and wrote up a 22 step check list that I followed. I used clear 3/4" ID tube and a Hillman 1/2" Screw Protector (to plug the return nipple) from Lowes. At idle my power steering was really heavy and stiff even while coasting. Just drove it around the block with the new reservoir installed and it made a huge difference. Thanks again!

[@piercedasian]

glad it worked out for you! Yes it is amazing how old fluid that is often neglected can have such a profound performance improvement. In my years growing as a kid I don't ever recall anyone telling me that power steering fluid needs to be changes. Since the procedure is so easy and cheap to do I just do mine every year now for my own peace of mind :)

[@RickeyBobby5813]

Outstanding job! Totally accurate. I watched this in prep for my fluid and reservoir change yesterday on my 2003 Honda Ridgeline. Everything was spot on. Not a difficult job but your video helped eliminate any unexpected surprises. Love your attention to detail!! Thank you!

[@piercedasian]

+Michael Wallace glad you liked my video! Yes I try my best to give as much detail as necessary for a person that knows nothing about fixing cars so that the CAN fix their cars. I see a lot of quickie vids on KZbin but the problem it is many folks assume people know what they're referring to which in many times they don't. I eliminate that "unknown" and don't "assume" so that people are well informed before tackling the job. Thank you for watching!

[@SmithNLindsay]

Ridgeline production started in '06

[@MSK9701]

I not only enjoyed watching this video but also benefited financially by doing the job to my satisfaction. Very good teacher.

[@piercedasian]

Glad you found the video useful and informative! Thanks for watching!

[@kennethscholz6027]

Very clear demo., thanks. Several minor suggestions: a) use a clear "dump" tube so you can determine when the return fluid is running clear, indicating a complete exchange - I use a short metal tube and clamps to couple the return tube to clear vinyl tubing of the same I.D. b) I prefer the front wheels to be unloaded while turning them each way to flush the rack and pinion. I support my cars on a pair of jack stands to get the wheels off the pavement (chock rear wheels and be sure an AWD vehicle doesn't get put into gear), but an alternate method is to place a pair of vinyl floor tile squares under each front wheel to reduce friction.

[@patchreefs]

Kid I noticed you never get dirty and that engine bay was extremely clean. I was impressed! I can tell you went to a lot of effort to make this vid. I don't think you miss spoke one word. Thank you for making this video. George

[@piercedasian]

lol, glad you liked my video. Yes, working on clean cars is definitely a pleasure and if it is my cars or my family's cars they're definitely never dirty. Being clean is not only good for me, but the car as well. Thanks for watching!

[@DumpinMyGun]

Thank you man. I just completed this tutorial and my power steering isn't whining anymore. Thanks again piercedasian.

[@piercedasian]

sweet! Glad that whine is gone. It's nothing short of annoying. Clearly the new fluid helped - likely lubricating much better than before.

[@JohnDoe-oj1lh]

Thank you for this great DIY video. I just did the power steering flush and replaced the fluid reservoir also. My 07 odyssey has 230,000 miles and had p/s fluid changed around 28K miles due to TSB on the fluid reservoir and again at 130K miles and my old fluid was dark brown if not black. You saved me 138 + tax from going to the dealer. I used all Genuine Honda OEM parts.

[@piercedasian]

Glad my video was of help to you! Fluid is cheap and DIY maintenance is relatively easy to do. Better spend a few bucks on fluid every few years than to replace an expensive pump or rack and pinion unit.

[@LoriMoonAralluna]

Thank you! For the first time, I can turn the wheel with ease. The parts were about $57USD total. I had no prior experience and did it only using this video for guidance :-)

[@piercedasian]

that's awesome you were able to fix your own power steering!

[@deanscott5699]

Excellent Video, I have worked on rebuilding cars and engines for 35+ years. I pulled this video up to show a neighbor. This is an example of how you should post a "How To" Video as you can do a lot of damage with a limited knowledge base of car repairs. Always wear safety glasses and turning belts will destroy anything they touch including your fingers.

[@piercedasian]

Hey Dean, glad you liked my video and thanks for sharing it with your neighbor! Doing things right has always been my approach to things and being detailed and making sure things are being done right has always been a successful​ formula for a proper and safe fix.

[@josephebanks]

Great video! Was able to follow clearly and perform my first power steering flush. Way better than the hundreds I'd have to spend at Honda.

[@piercedasian]

glad you found my video useful. Thanks for watching!

[@hectorquintela3499]

Excellent video. Very informative and detailed. I have a 2003 Odyssey with 78k original miles on it. A few days ago, it started to to make a funny noise when I turned the wheels, and I thought that it sounded like the power steering pump. I took it to my mechanic, and he said that it was the pump. I decided to seek more information on the internet and saw the videos where they talked about replacing the the two O-rings. I did that, but it did not work, it kept making the same noise. I checked the internet again, and came across your video. I followed the instructions to the letter, except that I used a turkey baster to remove the fluid of the reservoir because mine was a bit different from the one in the video and if I had done it this way, the fluid would have spilled. After I finished, I took the van for a spin and the noise was gone. Again thanks a million!! You saved me about $500!

[@piercedasian]

glad to hear that your PS pump noise is gone. a little bit of TLC does go a LONG way in preserving the longevity if your car.

[@jeffbrown3784]

Once again, your excellent videos have inspired me to try a DIY repair. Your video on replacing the sliding door rollers was spot on, and so was this. Thank you sir. If you're ever in Ottawa, I'll buy you a beer!

[@piercedasian]

+Jeff Brown Jeff that's very kind of you! I try very hard to make my vids presentable with as much detail as it would take to train even the most timid of folks wanting to fix their own car. If you're ever in Calgary drop me a line before you come!

[@warrengee8518]

Had to replace the power steering pump on my 07 Accord Coupe (2.4L) today & used this video to assist with flushing out the system before replacing - worked flawlessly! This has got to be the best step by step how-to on KZbin for replacing your PS fluid! Instructions were very clear & concise! Thank you sir! :)

[@piercedasian]

Glad you got it all figured out. Thanks for watching!

[@toynaklikarinca]

Amazingly detailed, almost “annoyingly” thorough 😁, will do mine exactly as you’ve described, thank you!

[@Gainzalez82]

Powerful video. Hands down one of the best thorough videos on KZbin regarding a car fix issue.

[@SeahawkAz]

A couple of things I will add. Instead of replacing the reservoir you can clean it using brake cleaner swishing around the fluid and dumping out into a waste container. I have used a clear vinyl tube connected to the reservoir return line so I can see the fluid leaving the system and refilling the reservoir as I go not to allow the reservoir to run dry. Raising the wheels off of the ground or putting cardboard between the front wheels and the ground allows you to turn the front wheels without turning the engine on you will be in better control using this method

[@oneswolf]

Pierce, kudos! I've watched a number of your videos now. Being an engineer and avid Odyssey owner and DIYer, I can really appreciate the care and detail you put into your videos. You don't miss any detail that would prove helpful. Awesome job.

[@piercedasian]

thanks for the supportive comments. I'm no engineer but I'd like to think of myself as having a slight bit of "engineering" mentality built into me :) Details are important. No point in explaining things to people if I'm going to exclude a bunch of things.

[@rkobylinski5901]

How did you fix the doors? We have had to fix ours twice at over $500 per door

[@abe1670]

It worked like a charm on a 2008 Honda Accord. Used almost four bottles. Got a new reservoir from Honda (P/N: 53701-TA0-A01, slightly different from Odyssey's), rubber caps (vacuum caps) from Pep Boys, a 3/4 transparent hose from Lowes and an empty milk jug. Also placed discarded insulation liner squares under the front wheels to make them swivel easier (sand or rice could also work for those who don't have a smooth surface to work on.) One thing to add is that the new clear fluid turned brown within minutes of flushing the system. And last, but not the least, took the used PS fluid to Pep Boys in the original containers for proper disposal and recycling in case you were wondering what to do with it.Thank you very much for the video

[@piercedasian]

great tips Abe! Yes you'er correct in that the new fluid will turn brown pretty quick because you can't comprehensively flush the fluid out of the system short of going through gallons of fluid (which isn't necessary). The point of the flush is to remove as much of the old fluid as possible and replenish the anti-wear agents in the fluid so that you're helping to prolong the life of the power steering system. Treat it like engine oil changes... all fluids eventually wear out.

[@abe1670]

You're so right

[@piercedasian]

[@Sadiboklau]

just curious how long will that last? because i always fill mine every week. it always goes to min after a week. help a lil.

[@piercedasian]

hmm if you're leaking that much fluid then it is time to fix the system. In an ideal world you shouldn't be losing any fluid. Can you see where it's leaking from?

[@tellsthetruth894]

Hello, I have 176,000 miles on my 2004 Honda Odyssey. I flushed the power steering fluid as you did in the video. Then I changed the power steering pump, (the pump removed had no obvious problems or leaks - I changed it because of miles. I changed the high pressure hose which had a minor leak at the interface of the rubber part and the crimped metal clamp located near the pump. I changed the power steering fluid reservoir, which was identical to the one removed (the bottom of the removed reservoir was full of gunk). I added a fluid filter in the return line to the reservoir to minimize gunk build up in the reservoir. This was a 7 hour job, but glad it was done. All went very well, and upon completion there were no leaks what so ever. Now, however, I have lots and lots of bubbles in the reservoir, and when the steering wheel is turned to the left or to the right, whether the van is stationary or in transit, an awful noise, like a goat is in distress noise, comes out of the power steering pump area. Before any of this work, neither the noise or the bubbles were present, even though there was the minor leak in the high pressure hose. I wonder if you have heard this type of noise coming out of the power steering area. If so how would you fix the noise and stop the bubbles, or remove the air from the system. Some people on the internet had fixed this noise and also stopped the bubbles by replacing the pump suction hose, the one that goes from the the reservoir large nozzle to the pump suction, which I had not changed. Would replacing this pump suction hose be a solution to the problems described above, and if not, what else could I do. If possible would you explain the theory behind the bubbles and the noise.

[@piercedasian]

+Sam Rafeedie Sam you have air in your system or you could be starving the power steering system of fluid with the inline filter you installed. The reservoir is the filter for the PS system thus if the fluid and reservoir are replaced every 100, 000kms then you shouldn't really ever have problems with your power steering system. I personally would remove the inline filter so that it allows maximum fluid return flow to the reservoir and I would then bleed the power steering system (turn lock to lock at least 3 times to each side). Top off fluid and then recheck. I'm assuming you don't have any leaks so you're likely not introducing air into the system through the hoses and seals. You could also possibly have a bad pump (remand pumps sometimes are bad out of box). If the old pump was working fine I would've kept using it. Mileage isn't necessarily and accurate indicator of wear. Proper maintenance and the fluid condition in my opinion would dictate if the pump should be replaced or not. Hope that helps.

[@africa.fs.0719]

@@piercedasian hello, can the old fluid still be flushed out without Cranking the engine, i.e. turning the steering left and right with engine off ? Can it also be flushed out with car key only in On (position 1) only and not cranking the engine, then turning steering Left and right ? Asking 'cos I'm scared of the risk blowing the pump

[@alekshernandez2]

@@africa.fs.0719 The engine needs to be running, so the pump pushes the fluid thru the system. Running for 2-4 secs without oil wont hurt, but it will suck air. Once you finish your flushing, make sure you steer right to left and vice versa several times to purge the air out of the system.

[@simonip2625]

Just followed these instructions to the tee, on a 2003 honda accord I-4. Worked like a charm. Awesome video. Everything step of the way was covered in this video. Cheap maintenance and easy to do. Do make sure to get those rubber plugs (you can get them at O'reillys) and the a rubber hose (I could only find a vinyl hose at my local hardware store) as well as the clamp. 3/4 inner diameter worked perfectly.

[@BobMillerdogpa]

BEST how-to ever! Now for my confession...I used a small dia hose to fit inside the return hose & out to the waste container. However, my mistake was not securing the line to the container. Without any restraint, my line jettisoned out of the container and sprayed my floor & walls. Oh the pressure!. Last tip, check the treads on the new pump & don't overtighten the bolts as this casting is aluminum.

[@piercedasian]

lol Bob, that is why I had to clearly state to use a clamp! Man I can't even imagine what that mess would look like. Sorry to hear that :( Well at least you flushed the system and you know it's got good pressure! great tip for the screws on the pump. Everything on modern cars is made from delicate aluminum so it doesn't take much to strip the threads...

[@BobMillerdogpa]

my replacement pump had very poor treads, which would barely hold the bolts beyond hand-tight. But another pump is on the way. Installing two pumps should make me an expert.

[@piercedasian]

ah, gotcha. Your 1st pump had bad threads? Is this from a pump remanufacturer or was it from a Honda dealership? Either way, doing it 2 times definitely gives you plenty of practice!

The learning effect in action. Of course I already had the drain hose and brass coupling, knew what parts to order, etc. After doing the left/right turning thing, I did one more 2-3 second engine run (like the first one you describe) to get a little more fluid out...I had plenty of PS fluid. It was nice to see the second time that the fluid in the drain tube was clear. Thanks again!

[@Therealestrunnerluda]

Best to jack car up turn wheels instead of running engine .

[@javiboo]

So putting the car into accessory mode and turning the wheels while the front is jacked will cause the power steering fluid to circulate?

[@maddad621]

Javier Paredes Yes, just jack car to get tires off the ground so there is no friction with garage floor. By turning steering wheel from left to right stops will circulate fluid thru the rack and pinion. Also if you use clear vinyl tubing for the flush side attached to return hose, you can see clearly when the fluid changes from old to new clean fluid as it goes to your catch can. By using this method you don’t have fluid flushing at pressure so you can do it slowly as the fluid reservoir drains out. Great if you are doing it by yourself.

[@kaylal5286]

@@maddad621 I wanted to flush the fluid out of my tsx, but I don't want to lift it off the ground. Everyone is saying that if the car has no fluid in it, and you run the engine, you can destroy other parts. But I've been running no power steering fluid in my car, for a year now and nothing has happen. My reservoir is empty, and my pump is brand new.

[@piercedasian]

glad you were able to flush it yourself. So much cheaper to do it yourself.

[@eksine]

Dude this is overly complicated, step1: on the power steering pump reservoir bottle there is a small and big hose. remove smaller hose on brake fluid reservoir bottle, step2: slide a new hose over the plastic barb fitting that the old smaller hose was attached to. run that new hose into a waste container, turn on engine, as soon as you hear it stop draining immediately turn off engine this will take litterally about 3 seconds, you will hear pump whine, stop immediately when you hear that. step3: reconnect old smaller hose, fill reservior bottle past the max line, all the way to the top, because when you run the engine agin it will suck it down to the min line so you need to overcompensate. turn on engine, if you hear a whine you need to shut off engine, otherwise go check the level and make sure its at the max line, done, use turkey baster to suck fluid out if you overfilled, when doing this better to overfill than underfill when you start car back up and check the level. no damage that way. this video has too many steps and is not as badass as the way I explained it. I haven't damaged a pump yet, done it 4 times already

[@vincevegacustoms8860]

eksine exactly how i do it..and this guy has money to burn buying 4bottles from honda when any power steering fluid does the job

[@eksine]

Vega-Expert dude you only need 2 bottles and it uses about 1.6 bottles. you MUST buy honda fluid, with coolant and ATF go crazy but this always has to be honda fluid. it's only $6.6 a bottle, not that bad. on the power steering reservoir bottle there is 2 hoses, a big and small. the fluid flows from the big into the small hose, thats the direction, so actually you need to disconnect the smaller hose and from the plastic barb fitting on the bottle, connect a hose and clamp to it and feed that into a waste container. you could alternatively figure out where the other end of the smaller hose ends at and disconnect that part and put it into a container. you also could disconnect the larger hose and put another hose into it and into a waste container but the easiest way is pull off the smaller hose and plug a new hose to where that old hose went to. turn on car for literally 2 or 3 seconds or 4 seconds, you will hear that pump start whining, stop immediately. reconnect your old smaller hose, refill all the way to the top of the reservior, trust me you need to go past the maximum line, restart car, turn off after 4 seconds, check your fluid level, or you could be brave and keep it running as long as you dont hear the pump whine. check level and fill to max line, done. if you overfill use a turkey baster to suck some out, done

[@roberthenry918]

Why does it have to be Honda fluid? I've owned a Toyota since 1998 and its got 186k on it and I NEVER used any Toyota fluids. So, please explain! And not because Honda told you to do it.

[@eksine]

Robert Henry Robert you're right I learned since then that you don't have to use any Honda fluids in the Honda car. I use Valvoline maxlife and Prestone Asian power steering fluid is said to work on it but that's probably the only fluid that I'll stick with Honda for now for the power steering. I also use Prestone coolant instead of the Honda coolant it's much cheaper

[@roberthenry918]

I didn't mean to sound so harsh, but good for you eksine, thanks.

[@reafus53]

I'm obviously a late arrival! But - very helpful. I just received my reservoir and fluid (OEM - internet order). The reservoir part number matches - 53701-SHJ-A02 - but no white dot on the top. However, peering into it with a flashlight, I'm pretty sure I'm seeing a super-fine mesh filter screen in there. FULL SPEED AHEAD! (Thanks for the informative video, piercedasian.) Update: I watched again, and then did it. Thanks to your video, no surprises whatsoever! The only thing I changed - I used a CLEAR "drain hose," and so I was able to see when the last of the nasty old fluid was gone, and the clear stuff followed. Hooked up the return line... the power steering feels better than it has in 6 years! Awesome!

[@piercedasian]

Glad you liked the video! It is such a simple procedure that it amazes me that more people don't bother doing this on their own and paying the speakership to do something that takes like 15 minutes to complete.

[@eksine]

you don't need a new reservoir bottle or all these extra parts, so unnecessary. the junk inside the system will turn the new fluid black instantly anyways, the oil screen in the new bottle is unneeded.

[@piercedasian]

not entirely true. I thought that myself initially as well but I caught wind of replacing the reservoir from a dealership that told me that the TSB called for the replacement of the reservoir because in certain vehicles the screen was too fine (don't ask me how I can tell because I can't). The finer screens were restricting the flow to the pump which hinders its ability to flow the proper volumes of fluid back to the PS pump. You need a new reservoir and a new cap (b/c the old one will likely be very loose). Given the low cost of the part and the peace of mind that the supposed filter inside is new and clean that there is no harm in replacing it. Better knowing it was done (as suggested by Honda) than not.

[@eksine]

piercedasian hmm interesting, I was right when I said a new screen isn't needed, if it's a metal screen I would have just removed it and if it plastic molded fused with the plastic bottle I would have just drilled it out. all the other parts do seem overkill though. thanks for the tip, I'll check into my 2002 odyssey screen

[@eksine]

piercedasian I researched it some, is this only to the 2005-2010 odyssey? mine is a 2002. I read that one guy has to replace his whole pump every 30k miles, that's ridiculous. . I also have a 2001 accord v6 that is at 211k and probably still on the original pump. I don't get how honda is this stupid.

[@wizardess_of_oz]

My Honda Odyssey Touring was making noise, and the power steering looked filthy. I just bought it used a couple months ago. I've been jipped in the past by garages (as recently as this spring by Tire Works), so I attempted this myself. Your video made it SO easy! Only advice I have - if it's long overdue, definitely flush it a couple times, getting 5-6 bottles instead of 4. Awesome video!

[@piercedasian]

yeah many mechanics are absolute crooks. There are many good ones but they are so few in numbers compared to the many jerks out there. Glad you flush worked out for you. Yes if your system is super dirty I'd recommend doing more flushes more often as crud and other junk also get loosened in the system over time. Good recommendation to our viewers.

[@JohnUllrey]

2nd time commenting.... Thanks again for this video Pierce. I used your procedure a few years ago on my wife's 07 Odyssey to try and fix the hard steering at low RPM problem. I eventually found that there was a TSB that suggested changing out the pump which is what I ended up doing. I Bought an '09 Acura MDX a few weeks ago and the hard steering at low RPM was even worse on it, and again I found a similar TSB. Just finished a full flush and replacement of the pump today. After seeing how dirty the old fluid was I feel a lot better knowing I did the full flush procedure you so thoroughly laid out in this video. Cheers!

[@piercedasian]

Glad you liked my video. Thanks for watching!

Love your videos. You and Dial2fast have the best Odyssey DIY videos! I just bought a floor jack so I’ll now be doing all the maintenance on my cars myself after watching your videos.

[@piercedasian]

Glad you like my vids!

[@kimstube7244]

I actually was looking for dial2fast’s video to do this and didn’t find one. Yes, this was an awesomely clear and detailed video. Thank you so much, piercedasian! I will be doing this soon thanks to you. 👍

[@jonriggs7606]

Thanks Pierce!! What a great video-- just did my 2005 Odyssey and everything worked perfectly and now I have power steering that is super smooth and got some really old oil out!!

[@hoodjoy5880]

Hi, What size bottles to buy 12oz?

[@piercedasian]

I'm really glad to hear it!

[@piercedasian]

I believe they are the 12oz ones yes... just the standard sizes from the local Honda dealership.

[@memoobaba]

Watched one of your other videos earlier today for fun and I was wondering where I heard your voice before and now this was the first video I actually watched and used! Thanks for helping everyone cheers

[@piercedasian]

haha, I'm apparently everywhere on the internet :)

[@jeffkeryk3550]

Well done. I have removed the reservoir and sprayed it out with brake fluid to clean the mesh screen. I have also just raised the front wheels and pumped out the fluid manually without starting the engine. Both ways have worked well. Next time I will peobably start the engine like oyu did; I believe the shop manual suggests this as well. Thanks for your post.

[@piercedasian]

Glad you got your fluid all changed out without a hitch. Yes you can change fluid the way you described but it just goes quicker when you start the engine. I might just try using your method the next time I do mine :)

[@abe1670]

Thanks again Sir. This is the second time I use your tutorial to perform the flush on a Honda Accord using a clear vinyl tubing (5/8” ID - 3/4” OD) from Lowe’s. I did the procedure twice so I could replace as much old fluid as possible. After the flush I also replaced the pump. No bubbles and no sound.

[@piercedasian]

That's great news! Flushing fluids out and putting fresh ones in will ensure you've protected your investment using the cheapest possible means. DIY on this job is so simple it is laughable why the speakership charges so much for the same job.

[@Gym_Adik]

Pierce you are the man! Thank you for this tutorial. I literally just did mine an hour ago. I just want to add though that while I was doing this I also changed the O rings on the return line and the main line. Apparently there was a TSB out against the power steering which a lot of people are complaining about the leaks. The new O rings are orange which costs .83 cents at the dealer. Part # 91345-RDA-A01. Somebody asked about the plug. I got the exact same ones at Autozone for less than $3.

[@piercedasian]

yes some folks replace the o-rings but I've found from my past experiences that the o-rings actually don't leak or cause pressure drop issues (I've fixed/flushed/replaced and even done TSBs for the lack of low steering boost on certain years of Odysseys). If you get low boost and lack of power steering when trying to park your car the only fix is to replace the reservoir and pump and fluid to get the system to operate properly. Then again if you ARE leaking like in your particular case then absolutely replace the rings and line sets as required. Thanks for sharing the part #'s and the cost to purchase them. Thanks for watching!

[@TheJoeinhose]

If you take a look at a cross section or cut away view of a rack and pinion system you will realize how delicate your power steering system truly is. If the seals wear down it could end up with a system that does not function properly and if it needs repair or replacement I can only imagine the expense of it! A quick check on the parts alone would be about two thousand dollars plus labour and taxes. I enjoy just watching videos of how people take care of their cars and work on their cars. Espcially when it is narated. Everyone has a different level of knowledge and this video will help all. Very well done and without annoying music in the background! I will be proceeding with this as soon as possible except that it will be on my Honda Civic 2006 LX. Even if it does not have a problem with the reservoir as was mentioned, I would prefer to get as much sludge out of the system as possible. I am really lucky so far that I have not had any problems for so long withou ever having a change done. But then again, I have very low mileage on the car. Well after 3 years this video is still useful. Thanks and have a great day!

[@piercedasian]

glad you liked my vid!

[@Freddo4J]

Like a boss - this worked great - thanks for the video! NOTE: The ID for the waste hose to use on our 2010 Odyssey needed to be 3/4" diameter. I used clear vinyl so I could see what was going on after running the vehicle to help keep tings tidy. Everything went great!

[@piercedasian]

glad you were able to flush your power steering! Thanks for watching and sharing your hose size with our viewers.

[@mityman01]

I just used this same technique on my 2011 Ridgeline. The only difference is the power steering fluid canister is slightly different and it sits much lower than the Odyssey. With that in mind, I made sure to have plenty of rags underneath as I did spill a small amount of fluid when changing the canister because there is an area below the low pressure side and during my removal of the hose, it poured some fluid into the rags. Thank you for this great video.

[@piercedasian]

Hey Greg, glad you found my video useful! Yes the 2011 Ridgeline is fundamentally the same system :) Thanks for sharing your tips with our viewers!

[@timvu3095]

This is one of the best videos on how to change the steering fluid on the Honda Odyssey. I like the fact that this procedure did not run the power steering empty like many other quick fix or half ass procedures. The proper way to work on any fluid system is never run it dry unless you cannot help it. I also like the fact that he suggests changing the fluid reservoir which no one else did because it helps improve the fluid flow over the old design. However, I don't recall any service bulletin from Honda for replacing the power steering reservoir. The Honda Odyssey 2005-2006 is notorious for dead steering problem because of the premature power steering failure. The new reservoir is cheap to replace, and it is mostly disconnected anyway. The only thing I am concerned about is whether you need to completely drain the fluid. For ATF change, you don't ever do that, you just drain and fill as the tranny does not like all new fluid. I think that if you just drain the fluid after disconnecting the return line, turn the wheel lock to lock to get rid of the old fluid from the steering rack, you can just refill the reservoir. Also, I would keep the return line low inside the engine compartment rather than high up over the fender so the fluid does not have to work hard to drain to the pan. You would use about 2.5 pts of steering fluid instead of 4 pts as you waste much of it on the flushing line. Lastly, if the front end if jack up slightly, you can turn the steering wheel very easily when the engine is off. Honda does not have a recommend schedule to change the power steering fluid, but I think 50K km is too frequent, 75K miles or 7 years make more sense. Well done!

[@piercedasian]

Hey Tim, glad you liked my video! I do tend to suggest "over servicing" cars b/c the fluid and process is cheap and easy and is a sure fire way to ensure that you fluid's anti friction properties are always performing at their best. Each to their own but you made some great observations and comments. Thanks!

[@TB-lv2rh]

Fantastic video that works the same for doing the 2011 Odyssey. (4th gen) Followed the video step by step & everything went according to the video. One quick thing to point out: MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CLOSEST SIZED DRAIN TUBE THAT FITS SNUG ONTO THE RETURN LINE! (Measure the diameter of the return line before buying an drain tube line.) I used a 1" plastic clear hose (bought @ Lowe's in the plumbing section for $1 per foot) so I could have visual proof that the old fluid was flushed out & the new fluid was flowing through the line. The oil pumped well through the plastic hose into the catch container, but when I turned off the car, the oil went back down the line towards the engine & that's how I had oil seep through the engine compartment and onto the cardboard I put under the car in case something happened. (WHICH IT DID!) I had a puddle of oil under the car because I did not have a tight seal on the drain tube, but that was totally my fault for buying an extension line that was too large in diameter & thinking that I could just tighten it well enough with the galvanized adjustable clamp. Do yourself a huge favor & measure the diameter of the return line before buying a clear extension hose and if the hose doesn't fit snug onto the return line, wrap a rubber band around the top of the return line & clamp down over the rubber band for a snug seal. Turning my steering wheel now feels like it did when I bought the car new! Thank you for posting this video as I also saved a ton of money doing this myself!

[@piercedasian]

All great tips T B! Glad you got it all figured out and have flushed out your PS system.

[@nurulmonin9476]

Thanks for your excellent job. Last time when my rock pinion change to dealer because of leaking they didn't change reservoir and fluid as well. From your I noticed why my steering still hard to move I guess. So dealer job mostly cost Money but don't do proper job. last one year I learn lots from KZbin. Let's I follow you to done my job.Thanks for your excellent video.

[@piercedasian]

Glad it helped

[@richca2004]

Did this procedure on a 2001 Odyssey. Thanks very much for the video, worked as you presented! The 2001 reservoir does not have a screen in the bottom of it. I did not have a cap to cover the return so I used a finger of a rubber glove and taped it on; worked just fine. I also used a clear tube for the flush so I could see the fluid flush out.

[@piercedasian]

glad you were able to flush out the PS fluid. Great tip on the rubber glove and tape. You don't always have to have the same exact tools as I do, use whatever works :)

[@georgeschmidt4699]

What a great tutorial. I'm far from a mechanic and was able to do this with ease. Got rid of the whine in the power steering. Thanks!

[@piercedasian]

glad it worked out for you!

[@pakmancreations]

Great video. It may seem overkill for some experts but I am a beginner and I appreciate the detail shown in the video. One can chose if they want to replace the reservoir or not. I used a bloon to cover the end I removed the hose from so didn't have to buy any special caps.

[@piercedasian]

great tip on the balloon (I think that is what you meant to write). Yes my explanations are most certainly verbose but that is because I try to make sure no detail is left unanswered.

[@richp4198]

Just did this procedure on a 2015 Odyssey EXL with 42K miles. I did not replace the reservoir since I believe my van has the newer reservoir due to it being 2015 model. Did not see all that crap on bottom after flushing portion. I used a 3/4” ID clear hose so can see the stuff come out. One thing I would try next time is to route the hose down into the car and out the bottom if possible. I noticed with the clear hose that some residual amount would remain at the beginning of my clear hose due to it traveling slightly up and over like in this video. As for number of bottles, I used 4 bottles with maybe 2-4 ounces left in my 4th bottle. Getting the 5th bottle as insurance is a great tip. Tip I have is don’t assume price of fluid is cheaper online than your local Honda dealer. My dealer in North Jersey charges $4.35 for the 12 oz genuine Honda power steering fluid.

[@piercedasian]

glad your flush worked out for you. You can never flush enough fluid through the system. The cleaner you can get it the better off you are in the long run. Thanks for sharing the great tips with our viewers!

[@HiTechDiver]

Thank you; good video. If your vehicle happens to be on jack stands, there is a video where the man disconnected the return line, but turned the steering wheel back and forth from extreme left to extreme right, without starting the engine. Works nicely, though a slower process. This did give me better control of the fluid level as well.

[@piercedasian]

Thanks for the info

[@SamVillegas]

I've watched a number of these and this is the best I've seen. Simple, clean and quick.

[@piercedasian]

glad you liked my vid! Thanks for watching :)

[@DavidHernandez-ue4fz]

@@piercedasian same process for 07 pilot?

[@TOM2RN]

Nicely done. I disagree with the earlier statement about your method being overly complicated. A person with no experience could do this the way you instructed. Good lighting and crisp detail on your video.

[@piercedasian]

glad you liked my video. Yes my method is a TINY bit complicated but did you see a single drop of oil anywhere? My power steering is still clean as a whistle and it hasn't broken down or started leaking on me yet :)

[@thingsdemystified]

I'm glad you explained how the new reservoir design fixed the problem of weak power steering at low speeds. You'll probably have to get a new cap because the new reservoir uses a different diameter cap (as you've shown that the old cap does not fit).

[@piercedasian]

yeah kinda dumb how honda changed that out to essentially force you to replace the cap. Fortunately the cap isn't expensive so it won't break the bank.

[@thingsdemystified]

Just replaced the tank. Didn't help with low-RPM steering. I'm going to replace the pump now.

[@piercedasian]

yes certain cars may not benefit from just replacing the tank and require a full out pump replacement. So far I have been VERY lucky that I haven't encountered a Honda that didn't have their issues resolved with a fluid flush and new reservoir.

[@davebliss3850]

Great video, and very helpful. The visuals were perfect. The explanation told me everything I needed to know, and every tool I would require. I just did a flush, and it was smooth as silk.

[@VI3W3R911]

This is an awesome video, I followed it closely and now we can turn the wheel at low speeds again. I didn't have the rubber caps so I just used some small water balloons to seal off the inlet.The PS cap was under $2 CDN. Thanks.

[@piercedasian]

VI3W3R911 I never thought of using tiny balloons to seal the nipple end - brilliant!

[@georgewny8820]

I performed this fluid & reservoir change today on my 07 odyssey with only 56k miles. After seeing Pierce's video, the level of detail and clarity, performing this task was a piece of cake! Took only 1 hour including clean up(that includes watching the video too). I purchase the reservoir via web from a Honda dealer in New Hampshire. Dealers name is SACCUCCI Honda, prices were good. Reservoir 53701-SHJ-A02 was $11.22, cap 53697-SB3-952 was $0.85, Shipping was more because I also ordered parts for our 09 Honda Fit (front brake pads, 4 brake pad retainer clips, engine and cabin air filters) so for everything shipping was $13.70 to Long Island, New York. I already had the Honda power steering fluid which I purchased in 2013 for $3.50 bottle. So my total cost for doing this maintenance was very little, less than 50 dollars. What I found amazing, even with such low milage on our Odyssey, the old fluid was very dark and there was quite a lot of debris in the old silk screen filter from original reservoir. Bottom line, excellent video, easy DIY, doesn't cost much, doest take much time, and I suspect it will help keep the power steering system in good shape for quite a while. Thanks Piercedasian!!!

[@piercedasian]

+georgewny long term reliability of anything is making sure that proper maintenance is performed. Fluids do wear out and dirt does get in so the best way to protect your vehicle investment is to make sure the anti wear agents in the fluids are at the proper levels (they do deplete with age) and to get rid of anything in the system that doesn't belong. Glad you liked my vid and I'm even happier that you go the job done using genuine parts for less than $50. Can you imagine what the dealer would've charged??

[@MrRoderick619]

Awesome video!! I ordered my OEM parts (reservoir, oil and cap). I also went to Lowes to get all other materials (hose, clamps and caps). As soon as I receive the parts I will change out my reservoir and oil.

[@mikerathe3885]

Awesome video! I flushed a few times, never knew there was a filter in the bottom of the reservoir; I'll have to replace that next time.

[@piercedasian]

yep the filter is a very fine silkscreen like material. Like a very find cloth mesh that catches the impurities in the fluid. Given the cost of a new reservoir there is NO reason why you shouldn't change it out. The filter over time builds up a fine layer of "scum" which hinders fluid flow which then starves the PS fluid pump of much needed oil to provide lubrication and steering boost.

[@kdsowen2882]

[@dylanshabtai4554]

I followed the instructions on this video and here's what I found. I used a clear extension tube so u can see the color of the fluid. I needed to use 4 bottles just to get clean fluid thought the system. In all i needed 7 bottles!

[@piercedasian]

you did a super comprehensive flush. I considered doing that too but opted to just do a flush every year with the 3-4 bottle I use. You'll find that even with brand new fluid in the system that it doesn't take long before it gets all dark again. Good job nonetheless on your part for being SUPER thorough in your fluid flush.

[@cmacaranas]

[@gregbonawitz3986]

Thank you very much for the video! I just did it pretty much without any problem. The only feedback based on my experience is that when I filled up all ala 18:26, after I went stop-to-stop with the steering wheel I still had fluid above the max line and had to siphon out a little bit. Maybe others should be a little conservative on that fill - it's easy to add more later.

[@piercedasian]

great tip Greg! I actually overfilled my last flush as well but I found that even though my fluid was at the "upper mark" that even after driver 1000kms with it being at the upper mark when cold that my fluid level never actually got much higher such that it would overflow. Maybe if your steering system was under a lot of load (i.e towing) that perhaps it could expand enough to overflow.

[@mnmurph]

Thanks for that. It worked out nicely. Right after doing this repair, there was noise coming from the p.s. that would go away once it warmed up. The ps fluid also looked foamy. I found another KZbin video that explained how an o-ring (RDA as the dealership parts guy called em) was allowing for the pump to be sucking in air and the noise is cavitation.

[@piercedasian]

yes, the o-rings on certain odysseys were leaky (I have yet to see on myself on the many vans I've worked on) and it is recommended to change the oring if you're getting foamy oil or lack of power steering boost.

[@MP33dave]

[@MrSoulMonk]

I liked your video a lot. It is detailed and focuses on several basics which can be gotchas if one is not careful. The only thing that threw me off a little was after you installed the new container, filled it with fluid, and started the car and turned the wheel. I did not hear the car start and was unsure whether you edited the engine sound out of the video, or you put it in accessory mode. However, I saw the rev meter and realized you must have edited the engine sound out. Great work indeed.

[@piercedasian]

I actually didn't edit the sound out. The van is just that quiet in the garage plus I did have the door closed on the van so the sound may not have made it all the way to my mic.
