2007 Honda accord

[millerbl00]

Decided to get the 2007 Honda accord with the 2.4 engine. So what trans fluid should I use? The orginal Honda fluid or something else? I would like to change the fluid.

Thanks

Honda OEM DW-1 fluid will work great

Use any full synthetic universal multivehicle ATF that has the Honda spec on the bottle or mfg datasheet.

Honda oem or Maxlife dex/merc universal.

I use the Honda Genuine ATF DW1, smooth firm shifts.

 

[Roob]

Honda atf DW1.

 

[millerbl00]

So Z1 is being replaced entirely by DW-1?

 

[901Memphis]

Yes and the new Honda fluid is superior to the old fluid it supercedes.

I have used both Amsoil's ATF and Honda Z-1/DW-1 with perfect results on either.
202,536 miles and counting. Shifts the same as day 1.
2005 CR-V

Or can I use MAXLIFE™ DEX/MERC ATF. Its meets the old spec?

202k miles! I guess I should use the Honda fluid!

Doing more searching look like MAXLIFE™ DEX/MERC ATF is good to use.

thanks again everyone.

I have used all commonly-available fluids, including the Castrol and the Valvoline fluids, and I prefer the OEM DW-1 fluid in both of ours.

 

[dblshock]

I always use the oem juice..3qts every 30k

nice car g/l

I use Maxlife after any warranty is expired in my Honda'a and I prefer the shift quality.

 

[millerbl00]

Thanks, I like everything about the deal except I am almost postive the trans fluid has never been changed. Other wise its almost a 10.

Changed the Trans fluid this weekend, very easy. Also saw there is a trans filter on top of the engine on drivers side. Found part # and gonna change it.

I think you'll find this to be the case with every maintenance point on your Honda. I own two and have found them to be very easy to own. DIY maintenance seems to have been designed-in from the beginning. All fluid sumps are easy to access. Parts are easy to find and are generally inexpensive. I find the cars to be screwed together pretty well, with smart design evident throughout. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
