What type of transmission fluid do you guys reccomend? I know i know everyone always says use the oem atf fluid but I heard of sone guys using valvoline full synthetic, royal purple or ams oil.

Im more interested to know if you all had good experiences with different fluids or would you just stick with the oem atf?

 

I use OEM

 

Use the Acura stuff.
When I had the cl trans I used a bunch of differnt stuff and the trans never seamed like it shifted like it should.
Always seam to shift gears harder not driving WOT. IMO

 

I use oem trans fluid as well

 

OEM. I swapped to Amsoil and my tranny failed 2000 miles later.

 

I'd just use OEM fluid. I'm sure if you felt inclined to try and get Acura to goodwill anything, using a non-OEM fluid will automatically deny you that.

But really, the DW-1 fluid works great so far. Why not just stick with that? I've only done one 3x3 since I owned my car, and I'm due for another late summer. Trans still shifts nice.

 

thanks guys. looks like I'll be sticking with the oem stuff.

 

Oem

 

Do you do the 3x3 method for a manual trans as well??!!

 

Is this the stuff your supposed to use???
