atf-z1
I recently purchased a used 2003 accord. The dealer I bought it from (a GM
dealer) stated he changed all fluids (and he's a friend, so I believe him). Reading the manual, I see it says to use Honda AFT-Z1 transmission fluid, and the Dixon is an acceptable *temporary* substitute. I just have a feeling that Honda ATF was not used. Will this hurt the transmission like the manual says, or is that just a scare tactic to sell more Honda products? |

The tranny will probably shift like a slamming door until you do, and who knows what other negative things can happen without the various additives / friction modifiers that are specific to honda Z1.
