I need to do a drain and fill on my 97 Accord LX Automatic. The owners manual says use Honda Premuim Formula ATF or you can use Dexron III as a temporary replacement. I was wondering if this would be a good fluid for the drain and fill and if it would be a compatable with the honda stuff. I picked some of it up at walmart yesterday.

of course it says use Honda ATF, they want more money. The stuff you picked up should work just fine.

Well, it's going to shift quite a bit firmer as the fluid isn't of the Z1 type. Dexron-III(H) fluids have different frictional characteristics than Z1 type fluids. If you really insist on using Mobil 1 ATF (Walmart generic will work fine, save your money), go to Napa Auto Parts and pick-up Lubegard HFM Supplement. It comes in a black bottle. Add 1 oz/qt and it will be fine.

I just used Walmart branded Dexron-III(H) and Lubegard HFM supplement on a 01 CL-S and it worked just fine.
