Hi folks,

1992 Honda Accord, automatic. Transmission has been regularly serviced, but I live in a mountainous region where conditions are probably pretty harsh on ATF.

What's the best fluid to use here? I know M1 has some good heat dissipation properties, and was wondering what fluid to use when I drain the pan - generic ATF, M1 synthetic, or Honda fluid?

Thanks!

Ari

The M1 is good stuff but most of the auto guys on here seem to prefure the Honda stuff...

OEM Honda

I've tried valvoline maxlife, which said on the bottle is suitable for for Hondas requiring ATF-Z1 and it shifted real hard and harsh into every gear. switched back to OEM Honda and it was a night and day difference, instantly smoother. and you shouldnt have to worry about OEM ATF not standing upto to harsh conditions, Honda engineered there cars, parts, and fluids to withstand being daily driven in extreme cold and hot climates and everything in between.

use the honda atf. back in the old days before all this new stuff, honda trannies did use motor oil. but what they do now is geared for the tranny so use the newer stuff with the additives for the tranny.
