Hi guys,
Has anyone changed the hydraulic fluid in their HESD (honda electronic steering damper)?
I was trying to take it off a few weeks ago prior to getting my Haynes manual and I cracked it open thinking the screws on top where the ones holding it on.
Anyway a fair bit of the fluid leaked out and I found out it is a non-serviceable part, so I can't seem to find out any details on what fluid it is from Honda.
I have seen on some other forums that people have put in 5w or 10w fork oil when they have wanted to play with it to try to change its properties. I'd be happy with stock, but I need to know what fluid i should stick in it.
Any ideas? I might have to just stick 5w fork oil in it if i can't find out what it is.
It feels less viscous than cooking oil as a comparison.
