I have seen other brands of ATF fluid for much cheaper, such as Castrol Import Cars and the Maxlife ATF, I beleive the maxlife is Honda approved.

Should I stick with Z1 or what?

Anyone know a cheap place (besides eBay) to find Z1?

 

don't put anything besides hondas atf in there.

 

Oops I just put Castrol multi import in my 97 accord. I used to drain and refill my 94 accord with dextron2 with never a problem . The trany shiffted great for 13 years until it got tottaled last month with 148k on it.

 

I thought dextron2 was only for the middle flush.. did you keep the dextron2 in your tranny?!

theres way too many horror stories about people not using OEM fluid and the tranny messing up. Honda ATF is one of the best lubricants there is.

 

You guys are scaring me. Next flush I'll break down and use Z1. It's only a buck difference per quart. Better safe than sorry. Thanks

 

So anyone know where I can get Z1 for cheaper than the dealer? Its $6.01/Quart there!

 

chk online ,,you might get it cheaper but even if it is $ 6 or so,, you replace it every 30k ( 2 yrs ) ?? ,, when you think about it ,, it is pretty cheap all you need is 3 qts

by the way it is $ 6.47 qt where i am at ..
but stick with Honda ATF-Z1

 

I need 6 quarts, to do 2 drain and refils..

$40 isnt really alot, I was just hoping to save a few bucks if possible. I called 3 dealers, none would offer me a deal if I bought a whole case, LAME!
