Unless you get it bulk from the USA, it would be difficult.Quote:

But I went with D4 anyway
Well, it's price keeps going up.

Shipping is $66 too. Thats almost $200 in ATF
Works out about $16.50 AUD per literQuote:

I get this instead of DW1 tho
How much better is the DW4 compared to the honda atf?
Lolz, I'm not so sure. Amazon themselves are giving a 1USD = .98AUD conversion rate, although that's similar to most banks (after bank fees). That and it's 12 Quartz not Liters, so that's 11.32 Ltr. 198.12 AUD / 11.32 Ltr = 17.50 per liter. Makes me wonder how much the Aus dealers are selling them for (although Bursons are known top rip you off hardcore).Quote:

Doesn't really make a differenceQuote:

(nb. i happen to have one of those siphon pumps (to change oil in a Smart car). Less than 20 bucks for the pump)
if you are concerned about the draining of oil, might as well drop the pan, wash the filter, and make sure its sparkling cleanQuote:

I bought some Honda ATF DW1 from this Honda dealer at Rockdale (found him via Honda website) and iirc it's about $65 for a 4l can. Procrastination (plus being a noob, never change oil once by myself) is a dangerous force.. I still haven't managed to change the ATF yet. Better do it this weekend.
Can someone please confirm you can fill ATF via the dip stick hole in CL9. have you done it yourself?
Yes, via the dipstick.
changed the transmission oil for both the civic and the euro yesterday.. its an easy job, removing the oil drain plug is the hardest, have the right tools.. do not waste your time with cheap two way wrenches, you will destroy them, invest in a good wrench and work it slowly with a rubber mullet.. on the euro there is a filler plug, so you don't have to fill via the dipstick hole. on the manual it will show the the filler hole as a bolt, but it just a cap with a little L shape hook on the top, it will be marked ATF, so you can go wrong.. good luck..
jack up car on jack stands
remove front right wheel
get a 3/8" breaker bar
bit of wd-40 - spray it on bolt
lightly hammer the breaker bar onto the bolt (too make sure there's no debris and good contact so it wont slip and deform the bolt head)
then hold the breaker bar against the nut and hit the bar with the mallet - took me a couple of tries
you also might want to have a crush washer ready as usually it is deformed as the bolt was previously over tightened by an air ratchet
the bolt should be torqued to 36/ftlbs
Oh by the way
Honda Australia HAS no more Automatic drain bolts anywhere
I was at the dealer last week and had to order one in (4 week wait)
Noobish Question, probably already mentions but....ATF-DW1 or AFT-Z1?
edit: quick google ATF-DW1 replaced AFT-Z1.
ALWAYS PICK DW1 OVER Z1, cause some dealers might try to slug off leftoversQuote:

Hey guys,
My euro is almost 100km and ive changed a few things, now wanting to change the transmission fluid for my manual 06 model.
Just wondering is it exactly the same as the diagram in "Page 1"?
Pretty much.
Check your manual too mate, pretty sure the drain and fill points are in a diagram in there along with the required quants etc. At least all that was in the std manual for my CL9Quote:
