Power Steering Fluid, Timing Belt Power Steering Fluid UPPER LEVEL Always use Honda Power Steering Fluid. You may use another power steering fluid as an emergency replacement, but have the power steering system flushed and refilled with Honda PSF as soon as possible. A low power steering fluid level can indicate a leak in the system. Check the fluid level frequently, and have the system inspected as soon as possible. Timing Belt The timing belt should be replaced at the intervals shown in the Maintenance MinderTM schedule. Replace the timing belt every 60,000 miles (100,000 km) if you regularly drive your vehicle in any of the following conditions: In very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C). In very low temperatures (under 20°F, 29°C). Frequently towing a trailer. LOWER LEVEL Check the level on the side of the reservoir when the engine is cold. The fluid should be between the UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL. If not, add power steering fluid to the UPPER LEVEL mark. Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill. Clean up any spill immediately; it could damage components in the engine compartment. If you are not sure how to add fluid, contact your dealer. Turning the steering wheel to f ull lef t or right lock and holding it there can damage the power steering pump. 624 2011 Odyssey
