I just got the car look at by a mechanic I've gone to in the last couple of year. He said only the engine oil (it was nasty) and filter and break fluid needed to be changed despite that I told him I want a big service at 80Km.
I saw him replace the oil with castrol 10-40w and just an OEM Toya (no it's not a typo it's not Toyota) oil filter, he checked the tranny fluid and drive test it quickly and said transmission is ok, fluid is clear red (i see it too). I think the guy is ok, however, should I be worry about tranny fluid? or the oil grade he put in and non Honda filter? I notice everyone is using 5-30 grade oil.
I'm still getting some ATF DW1 from Collins Honda in rockdale today and will drain some and top up some in the weekend and update if the sticky gear goes away. I reckon having peace of mind that ATF DW1 is gonna be in the tranny totally worth it.
