Transmission Fluid Question



Has anyone here used this as an alternative to Honda/Acura transmission fluid? The closest Honda/Acura to me is about 45 minutes and the parts store has this in 1gal for about $32. If need be I will make the 90 minute round trip drive but just wanted to see what your guys thoughts on this.

Thanks

You should be fine using it. I've used it multiple times but am switching to Redline D4 + DW1 mix. Drain and refill every 15k miles.
