Ah, good point. I've heard Hondas use mostly Honda supplied fluids only.

I like to change it every 30k miles, but only use the real Honda ATF-Z1,
and don't use a flush machine. The Honda procedure calls for drain,
fill, drive, repeat for three times. Takes about 12 quarts to do.

Do it yourself because changing AT fluid on Hondas is easier than doing an
oil change.

And ONLY use Honda's fluid.

Good advice, but is there a "cheaper" source for Honda A.T. fluid than the dealer?

If one can not afford the fluids and parts, one should not purchase the
vehicle.
