Works out about $16.50 AUD per liter
identical to getting ATF-DW1 from the dealer.

I get this instead of DW1 tho

How much better is the DW4 compared to the honda atf?

Lolz, I'm not so sure. Amazon themselves are giving a 1USD = .98AUD conversion rate, although that's similar to most banks (after bank fees). That and it's 12 Quartz not Liters, so that's 11.32 Ltr. 198.12 AUD / 11.32 Ltr = 17.50 per liter. Makes me wonder how much the Aus dealers are selling them for (although Bursons are known top rip you off hardcore).

Lolz, that's the trading rate currently, but no bank will give you that. Even if you have a 28 degree card.

will jacking up the rear of the car allow more oil to be drained ? i want to drain out as much of the oil stuff as possible.

Doesn't really make a difference

How about using a siphon pump with the suction tube going into the fill/dipstick hole? Would that take more of the old fluid out in the first place?

(nb. i happen to have one of those siphon pumps (to change oil in a Smart car). Less than 20 bucks for the pump)

if you are concerned about the draining of oil, might as well drop the pan, wash the filter, and make sure its sparkling clean

[EKVTIR-T]

yeah pan off for sure

and can undo one of the fluid lines to cooler and drain more from there
