Ah, good point. I've heard Hondas use mostly Honda supplied fluids only.

I like to change it every 30k miles, but only use the real Honda ATF-Z1,
and don't use a flush machine. The Honda procedure calls for drain,
fill, drive, repeat for three times. Takes about 12 quarts to do.

Re: Transmission fluid
Do it yourself because changing AT fluid on Hondas is easier than doing an
oil change.
And ONLY use Honda's fluid.

Good advice, but is there a "cheaper" source for Honda A.T. fluid than the dealer?

If one can not afford the fluids and parts, one should not purchase the
vehicle.
