I think I will put in redline D4 ATF instead of DW 1, from what I have been reading it seems to be a much better choice, I just don't know if I should install a magnefine filter or just get a new OEM filter.

OEM should be fine. tbh

Anyone here actually done the ATF filter change themelves? Easy or not?

edit: I read this thread on driveaccord and it seems like getting the hoses on and off is a bitch but it's a pretty simple job

If i were you i'd go oem for ATF but what ever floats your boat
As for filter go for OEM
As your Transmisison drain bolt is also a magnet
I swear when you take out the bolt its like a hairy black porcupine/echidna - i got freaked out

For the last 5 services ive always had the transmission fluid changed, bcoz i didnt want the jerkyness coming back wen driving in school zones. But when i take the bolt off i and watch the fluid drain, i expect to see some bits n peices floating around....but i dont see any...not evem in the bolt. Its like clean....TBH...i feel kinda left out. =[ Its like im doing something wrong...LOL

Because you have done 5 changes in such a short time span (2.5 years I'm guessing?) all of ATF has been replaced and only the clean stuff is left in there. From now, I'd replace ATF once every 2 years but do change the ATF filter at the next one.

I guess it means your transmission isnt overheating and ripping itself to shreads *touch wood*
Good work on the preventative maintenance

Would using mobil 1 full syn ATF be ok to use or should I just spend the extra few bucks and get dw1?

Im using redline, and a few people here used Amsoil, i dont think anyone on this forum has experience with M1 yet.

guess it's about whether you're willing to be the first.

So like every 2nd service rather than each service? is that a cost issue or so i get to see some bits n pieces so i dont feel left out? =P
