Any BG products worth using on a 97 3.2TL?

Has 185,000 miles on it. Still running good. I tried BG 44K and felt it added a bit to the car's pickup, but that's potentially psychosomatic.

Was interested in trying:
(1) BG Quick Clean - https://www.bgprod.com/catalog/trans.../#bg-product-2 - (add to the transmission fluid and drive for about 10 minutes before a transmission fluid exchange).
(2) BG EPR - https://www.bgprod.com/catalog/engin.../#bg-product-3 (add to the engine oil and let the car idle for 10 minutes before doing an oil change).

Also, good idea or bad idea to add BG ATC+ to the transmission fluid being put into the car? Link is here: https://www.bgprod.com/catalog/trans.../#bg-product-3. I'd buy my own Honda Z1 transmission fluid to make sure they put the right stuff in.

Thanks Guys!

Atf dw1 has replaced z1 so don't out z1!!

The Honda v6 transmissions have never been good so I would be hesitant to put in any additives . But there are different schools of thought.

Thanks! Ok, I'll make sure to get the DW-1 ATF. Is this the correct one: https://www.amazon.com/Honda-Automat...Acura+ATF+DW-1

The transmission is pretty solid, I've really not noticed any issues, but I've decided that my wife's gonna get a new car, not me, so I wanted to do a few things to clean it up a bit from the inside-out.

That's the one man!


Honda dealer MIGHT match the price.. so might be worth the asking.
