I have used this ATF before and it was a big mistake. It shifter harder than normal and less than 1,500miles later the "S" light started blink and it didn't shift and $350 later it was fix.

SO CHANGE IT WITH HONDA ATF PLEASE and save your self a headache and money.

Switch to Honda ATF...Get it as stated above. Honda uses friction modifiers in their fluid that eases shift engagement. You can add a friction modifier but, I would strongly reccomend HONDA ATF. Good Luck
