If you have an application which specifies DW1 (originally), you will need to use Amsoil ATL (blue cap).
During the test drive after the first drain and refill, the transmission shifted firmer than DW1, but less firm that it did after the 3rd drain and refill.
Like I previously said, if you are particular about shift quality, this may not be for you. The shifts are "different" than with the OE fluid. Not saying it is better or worse. If you like how your Honda trans shifted from the factory, you are better off using OE fluid and changing a lot more frequently.
