Customer Reviews
The only fluid that works for hondas. Do not use any of those universal ATF your see around the place, they will mess up your honda transmission. This fluid is for Hondas. I am not saying it can or will work for any other vehicle. It was engineered for hondas, and it does a damn good job of it. The real test that an ATF fluid works well, is if it allows a vehicle to climb hilly terrains, without problems + smooth shifts on highways. I have seen people say their universal ATF fluid shifts fine on highways, (but they never tested it on hilly terrains).
I ran into that problem with a few high quality ATF on the market, and then I eventually went back to this OEM fluid. I had lost most of the tranny "power" for more than a year, and after I switched back to this OEM, all the power was restored. Now I can climb some of the steepest hills you can find - like an all-terrain vehicle ! No joke.... Its the only fluid I now use for Hondas, plus I do change it often - every 6 months (far less than the recommended 30k miles interval. I say better safe than sorry.
I have used Amsoil universal ATF, Castrol universal ATF, and the third ATF I cannot recall, since that was years ago. They all failed to deliver, despite they specifically claimed it would work in hondas (it was listed on all their labels - "Honda - ATF Z1"
Sidenote: Honda ATF DW-1 now replaces the Z-1 version. It is vastly improved over the previous version. Honda is phasing out the Z-1s. It is also backward compatible, so it can be mixed with Z-1. I have heard though, that the DW-1 is a synthetic ATF (but dont quote me on that...). So it would make it last even longer and resists heat better (if that is really the case).
Still waiting on the shipment from the seller but I bought a few quarts locally to do an fluid change in my Honda 3.5L 5-speed auto tranny and felt that the shifting was smoother. To replace the fluid in these transmissions one needs to drain and refill 3x within a few hundred miles of each other. Still have to do it two more times and felt some improvement in driveability after the initial change. I've heard from others that they have experienced much better cold weather performance and much less--if not any--stuttering at 45-55mph.
