No, its boil as in over heat the fluid to the point where it boils, like water. It happens with brake fluid too, but boiling the P/S fluid is Much Rarer.


usafstud, I'm sure your local Honda dealership could tell you how much fluid is in the P/S system. Just dont tell them what you were doing.....
