Thinking of switching from Honda ATF for better shifting. What do you guys think

Bad move; Scamzoil ATF does not have the correct friction properties for your transmission; put that stuff in and your transmission will fail sooner than it should.

I say just replace your Honda ATF-DW1 every 15K miles and you should be fine.

Honda/Acura DW-1 is cheaper than most fluids at the dealer, esp in a 12 pack/case where it's usually under $110. If you want a little extra protection use some lubegard plat in the fluid you choose.

No, but after running Redline D6,D4 and BG fluid for couple hundred of thousand miles, switched to Pennzoil LV fluid. Excellent fluid for Honda 6AT and Nissan 7 speed transmissions.

Scamzoil; go for it; keep buying from an unethical MLM scheme which has as close an association with the truth as Trump.

I've been running Amsoil ATF in my 09 TL with 190km on it for about 2 years i did a 3x3 service the fluid is still good and the tranny has no issues. Im getting an account with Amsoil since its the only thing i'll use in my cars from now on.

Amsoil ATF has the incorrect CoF for your transmission, it will fail sooner than it otherwise should when using this ATF; the best advice would be to get that crap out of your tranny as quickly as possible.

Thats fine, im looking into upgrading the auto or do a manual swap when i need to rebuild. Which will happen either way, whether or not im using Amsoil or Honda ATF. Atleast with me running Amsoil we'll have some real life data on how it performs in the updated H5. The results should be the same for the H6 aswell, since they are similar if not mainly the same. I did the service at 158k im sitting at 190k on the stock tranny no issues so far. I will update this when i need to rebuild so we can see how much life was taken off the transmission. I'll be doing a 3x3 service once a year just to keep the fluid fresh as i do a bit of spirited driving every now and then. I'll be using Amsoil Multi Vehicle ATF Signature Series, which on the bottles it does state that it meets honda transmission specs. If i have any transmission problems i'll update on here. Thanks for your input, would you be able to provide valid sources and links of Amsoil being bad for honda transmissions so i can further look into it. I would prefer actual data not just someone making a post saying its not good thanks.
