Honda Dual Pump Fluid, part #0...stem_fluid.pdf][/URL]

there isnt much about MSDS, except they are not call the same name, and have different flash point. so they are very very likely are different. but that does not mean Honda DPSF can not be use at SH-AWD.

something interesting, is the Acura #08200-9007A has additive for CVT fluid


sorry links didn't work... fixed..

YouTube video?????
Let's jack the left side of the car to drain the left/rear drain plugs for draining/refilling. Let's not use a torque wrench. Let's not use a square socket.
When draining, best to raise side opposite of plug.
When refilling or checking, vehicle should be level.

MSDS usually good useless info.

Before cvtf, some CVTs used DPF and others Z1.
CVTF was also used in some dual-pump diff's.

Makes you wonder if DW1 is as good as claimed since it can't replace Z1 in a diff.

If yours came with atf z1, don't use any pathetic ATF as a replacement. Stick with a 7+cst Full Synthetic ATF or the Honduh Akura fluids. Analysis shows that the dpf has a good dose of additives not seen in Z1.

There was a lot of great info in that video. Following his instructions will lead to a great result. How many techs at the stealerships use torque wrenches on the drain plugs? I mean, get real, please. Also, what is wrong with using a square drive? It fits perfectly.

thanks for advise, there isnt much info in the MSDS, except the flash point of the 2 are very different...
and... is D4 fit the description as pathetic replacement? it's Full Synthetic and has 7.5cST. thanks.
