i'm at 66k miles and i'm gonna be getting a tranny flush next time i go in for an oil change. i'd rather buy the fluid online and just have them do the labor. what do you guys suggest? redline, mobile 1, honda? and i'd also like to know what kind. like i know redline has d4 and all that. thanks in advance!

go with redline d4, i have been using it for the last 25k and its been good to me

legendbliss

okay great! i was looking on amazon, is there a difference between the d4 and synthetic atf?

legendbliss

called my local honda dealership and he said that he doesn't recommend red line and that i should use honda z1. hmm.

my head hurts...somebody provide him with a link(s) regarding this stuff.

OP, acura and honda want you to use their fluid. not somebody elses.

redline is fine for your TL.

do some searches here on the forum. your answer lies in countless threads about this subject.

3x3 of Redline D4 ATF. Unless your tranny is slipping like mine, then go with Redline Racing ATF. The OEM Z1 ATF is crap.
It's as simple as that.

okay thanks! redline it is.

i went ahead and ordered red line d4 atf. thanks!

How about a search? That aside, I vote for a solid 3x3 with the redline D4 and then once you get a little comfortable searching and reading, go for some of the redline racing.

Many here said Z1 ATF is crappy but my transmission feel smooth with Z1 ATF. I barely notice the gear shift. (I did a 3x3 Z1 ATF about 2 months ago).
Will a Redline D4 gives a smoother gear shifting? or quicker gear change? I means where is the performance advantage?. Thank you.

i already found the answer and ordered. was that necessary? i am comfortable with searching and reading, thanks.
