[CL9]&[CU2] You got Automatic transmission? *you'll WANT to read this*

[Fredoops]

could someone advise me if it is ok to use other atf fluid to mix it with oem atf z1 fill? or just tell me if you have mixed it with non honda atf in the last drain and refill, then 30k kms later it is still running ok

i am thinking of draining the gearbox atf and refill it in with Penrite ATF FS MULTI-VEHICLE FULL SYNTHETIC $14 a litre or Liqui Moly TOP TEC ATF 1200. easy to buy from local autobarn. both are Honda ATF Z1 approved..

the car is already 2 yrs old since production date and has done 27k kms.

i will need 3 to 4 L to drain and fill right?

I'll let you know in a mth or so, I'll be mixing my Redline D4 with Z1.

Fill and drain uses 3 qrts, so about 2.9 liters.

How does this contribute to the thread?

I change my ATF every 12 months or 20K & have always done so. I use Nulon Sythetic ATF. My MY12 CU2 will do <10k per year, but will still get the ATF changed yearly.

hey i changed my fluid today... but i chose the newer atf-dw1 is it ok that it mixes with the existing atf-z1? also, i dont think it all drained out and subsequently its 0.5cm over from the full mark is this ok?

according to honda America it's okay to mix... does Honda dealers stock ATF-DW1 now?

overfilling is never a good thing tho.

Yep, I picked up some DW1 about 2 weeks ago from dealer. Paid 70 for 4L.

Thanks Rudy.

$70 for 5l.

Thats about $13 per quart.

Not a bad price guys

EDIT:
$70 for 4l which is $16.50 per quart.

Sorry I checked my bottle and it was actually 4L bottle. Kinda steep I guess (i dont really know what the going rate is?) , but this was my first tranny change (and will be a while till next), so I figured its ok.

Has the DW1 become factory fill? If it did, does anyone know when?

I suspect it wouldve when the new 6 speed auto came out on the legend.

it's same price as ATF-Z1.
