OK, normally I ignore ranting and railing, like why make more of it? But here's a good example of what I thought was a pretty good thread, one that could be turned up later on a search for changing the fluid in an automatic. Messy, not everyone knows as much as you do - everybody, and I mean everybody, started out a newbie, everyone has asked questions that seem self-evident but aren't to them. Right up to when you jumped in, the thread was clean and informative. Ahmad has progressed over a year or so from knowing very little and perhaps asking questions that could have been answered from a search, to having plunged in and worked hard to learn. Have to give him credit for that. On this thread, which was very straightforward, jumping in with superfluous junk doesn't do anything except mess things up. And Ahmad, if I could make a suggestion: when someone throws up something like Messy, just ignore it, don't feel you have to fire back. The disturbance will usually die by itself, instead of turning into a pissing match.
I know that this message is sort of like that, but it's the first time I've said anything along these lines. I really believe that the personal stuff should be kept in a chat environment, not in the middle of the tech stuff.
SWEET....
this little smiley bastard can't possibly laugh as hard as I did at your post ddude2uc
Sorry guys
W261W261 I very much agree with you, the piddly back and forth chit chat (like an old married couple) nobody wants to read.
Does the dipstick say Mercon III? I never saw that on mine, I am going to look now. As far as I knew the Honda ATF was synthetic or synth blend.

W261, messy and i are just messin around we were talkin in the chat room last night when he posted that, hes just being a smartass lol, i always have stands next to the jack incase the jack fails for some reason, that would save me from being crushed. Thank you all very much and thanks W261.
Only messy would have the experience of having a car fall on him lol
yeah....we had a chat last night....i only mess with people i know. not with ramdom people.
and ahmad....its not funny....my dx fell on my uncle back in 95 or something like that and now he has a metal plate on his wrist....he was doing an oil change and he did not put wheel stops or the e-brake and one of the jackstands gave out since it was on a incline. i always change my oil on a lift since its a 4 point system and i always check its going up right and suported right. just take your time and dont cut shortcuts.

You don't need to jack the car up to change the ATF.

i dont do shortcuts with that kind of stuff, i always make sure everything is secure and when i jack up the car i shake it a lil to see if the jack holds and sorry about your uncle.
God Damn, My 86 LX fell on my dad, he was trying to change the oil and decided to use Two Tire Jacks.....
He was ok but he fucked up his shoulder.
2004-2011?
well i just got back from honda and the only ATF fluid is ATF-Z1 and its 10 bucks a quart!! so i gotta go back when i get 30 bucks.
In that case I'd just buy some Dexron III ATF
Buy like Castrol, Mobil 1, brands like that.
10,000's if not more use the same shit in there automatic honda's and don't have issues, even the service manual for our cars calls for it (Dexron II at the time) Honda didn't even make ATF back in the day of our cars.
So just buy Dexron III and be done with it
how did he get out of that situation? (same question with messys uncle)
Um I was able to get the car jacked up again to the point that he could get out.
He was very stupid using 2 Tire Jacks on a non level space........
so use dextron 3? I wanna use the ATF-Z1 i read good reviews about it and last long and even conditions the gaskets.
that blows...if you were closer i would hook u up....i only got charged 3 bucks a quart and i bought 5 and he gave me one free. so it was all good.

yea you need to let somebody buy it for you, they are charging you noob tax. lmao
you can use other brands, read your own thread mister ahmad89
There is a definate difference in shift quality with Honda fluid though.
i want the smoothest shifting possible, my car shifts so rough it makes your head swing around.
I'm fortunately enough to own a manual transaxle that I don't have to deal with the hassle of an auto unit. Although I don't have an auto, my previous motor vehicles with auto tranny (Chevy, Corollas, etc) required flushing to get all of the tranny fluid out of there. Simply draining it gets a lot out of there, but not all of it. If I remember right, I was always recommended to flush the tranny. Since I do have a flushing machine, I just pay a shop to do it. Anyway, I'm glad I don't have an auto unit.
