Can DEXRON III ATF be used in Power/S resevoir? (Honda Civic EK)

[Limbo]

i'd stick to original honda fluids for everything barring engine oil. Otherwise like ECUMAN stated you'll have issues. I have heard that especially on brake & powersteering that the seals are touchy on some models and stuff up if you use non-honda fluids. Then your gonna end up replacing the whole thing to save maybe a few dollars now? Honda parts aren't cheap, be warned

Ok i just spoke to a Honda rep...
they said u MUST use HONDA ATF & Power/St, ok for aftermarket brake fluid

can someone confirm whether the ATF tank is 2.7 or 3.7L?
its F**** $55 for ATF man...

aftermarket ATF is ok for the gearbox as is aftermarket engine oil and brake fluid, as long it's within specifications from manufacturers.

Actually, it's a must to use Honda OEM ATF in the gearbox.

Does someone have a DIY for my Honda EK model changing the ATF fluid??
i dont think im gonna locate the damn screw. and also i dont know what to use to fill it up whether its a syringe type or a cone.

dont use a syringe as you will airate the fluid.

I don't see how that would matter for ATF..... enlighten me.

[ECU-MAN]

air is compressible,

airated fluid becomes compressable.

clutch packs dont like it. although it will settle with time you will notice funny behaviour from the trans, then start chasing your tail.

Interesting... I directed my question cause I would have thought it would not have taken long to settle. You make it sound like it is some time.....

we've used non genuine ATF fluids on Honda's before and they seem to be in good nick no gearbox issues and that's with 50,000km+ since using.
