Power Steering Fluid ???
So I was looking through my Honda manual, and it only shows how to remove air from the power steering system. No where does it say that the fluid needs to be changed. I found this kinda strange. Does the power steering fluid need to be changed at all ? How often ?

your highbeam fluid usually goes before your power steering. I'd take it to honda and get them to look at that first

I almost pissed myself from laughing.

Actually, if you dont change the air in your tires before the winter, it could ruin your tires. LOL

Due to the temmperature changes the air in your tires expands and contracts at a higher rate.

So if you filled your tires in the summer the air is only good in warm weather and therefore winter air is only good in cold weather.

This is a safety concern make sure you change it before the first snowfall.

Put helium in your tires...makes your car lighter and you'll get better fuel mileage...

About the power steering fluid...unless there's a leak or other problem...why do you want to change it?

If the fluid looks good and there's no leaks...your good to go...should need to change it.
