Low Trans Fluid Level

I noticed there was a very low level of trans fluid so I went to Auto ZOne and bought 2 quarts of fluid and put it in. I asked the guy at auto zone which fluid fits and thats what I used. Is there any problem doing that?

Now you need to go to Honda/Acura dealership and buy yourself Honda ATF. Then drain the old one out and fill up with Honda ATF.
