I put castrol 10w-40w motor oil in my tranny. haven't changed the fluid in 15k miles, never a problem.

Funny you mention that... Automatic hondas that havent been changed in a long *** time + a full flush and new fluid = slipping and weird *** shifting

Flushed the auto in my '89 Acura Legend and the tranny fucked out promptly afterwards

do not flush honda automatics. drain & fill only. They hold about 9qts, and you can drain 3 qts, so 4 d&f's will get you about 80% fluid replacement. Use ONLY Honda Genuine ATF, or add a bottle of Honda Additive if you use Dexron.

for a wore out tranny that still has all its gears i use a 50 50 mix of cheap *** 10w30 and lucas oil stabalizer. that ---- sucks if you spill it or get it on your hands. and kitty litter does nothing to it. it laughes in the face of kitty litter.

I reccomend doing at least a drain and fill on a honda automatic at least every 30k miles or so. Some people never change it after like 125000 miles and then when they do they wonder why they have tranny issues.
