I used redline d4.
Forget it. It's no better than penrite or nulon for normal driving. Not worth the money IMO.
Nulon or Penrite is fine.
Btw you don't HAVE to use the more expensive penrite atf LV for a cl9. The normal syn multi atf is ok as welll

Fredoops is probably right. He has alot more experience with the CL9.
I am using redline D4 and it is expensive. I have not tried nulon or penrite.
When I read reviews about redline oil, because of its group 5 base stock, it can tolerate higher temperature (oxidation). I do not know if this is the case with their atf fluid.

better base stocks last longer but if you are going to start changing it more regularly, it's not as much of a big deal IMO
Honda recommends 60,000km/36 months they should do 3 drains 3 fills with some driving between to get most of the old oil out...
I'd personally do 2 drains minimum if yours hasn't been done for 100,000km
Been doing mine yearly since I got it but only as a single drain and fill of 3-4L... my car did 120,000km until it's first change and by then it was a bit jerky with shifting, despite honda servicing it, they never told the previous owners to change the oil

I am sure Hondas recommended atf change is 120000 km (1x drain and refill), which is too long.
I would agree with AndrewRox22, if there are transmission issues/symptoms, a 2x drain and refil (even 3) should be done straight away.
There is also an inline atf filter that should be changed regularly.

Bingo. If you're doing once a year fluid changes then it doesn't matter as much the base oil. Uless you go onracetracks or something

I ended up buying PENRITE LV for ATF & PENRITE 10TENTHS PREMIUM 0 0W-40 for the engine oil.
The gunk on the magnet of the bolt looks like it needed a a ATF change after not having one since new.
I will do the 2nd drain in 20,000km time from now

Please let us know how the car goes.
I am sensing that you really want to look after your car with good oil selection but still being sensible and practical. Thanks for the photos.

If I'm you I'd do a second drain asap.
Unless you just did a 3x3
Given the amount of gunk on the magnet. Change the filter too

Yeh thanks mate, really want to look after this car hence the penrite bottles.
Just took it for a drive and the gear changes are smoother, espesh from 1st to 2nd where I sense the massive difference.

This
Regular service intervals don't need expensive fluid

The LV is DW1 grade so much thinner, would make a huge difference, gotta give it a try sometime when it's on special
I do a sneaky and take off only 1 side of the plastic guard and slip my catch pan in there haha
would have been it's first change because honda don't have the item on the service schedule until 120,000km/6 years for the factory fill
i agree with a minimum of a second drop, 10L+ capacity, how much did you get out?
