I recently bought a 2001 Honda CRV with 200,000 miles. I am installing new drive axle plus 4 new shocks and also drilled and slotted brake rotors. However, the tranny is acting sluggish. I am going to do a fluid change (twice). I have purchased DW1 OEM Honda tranny fluid. I was told that this fluid replaces the old Z1 fluid. Should I go ahead and replace the old Z1 with the newer DW1?
Thanks,

yeah thats the new one....you should....

thats a lot of miles....my transmission went out after 200k...i had to rebuild it

 

how often do u have too change your manual tranny oil ? and what oil should i use ?

 

Oem honda manual fluid, and most people do it every 15k miles, about every 4 oil changes, or once a year. At the same time i do the rear diff fluid.
