I can get Z1 for $5.56 and DW-1 for $5.98. So price really isn't a factor between the two.
Is the DW-1 a synthetic? Do you notice any difference?
PS. Please don't suggest any other ATF's, I just need an answer between these 2. I'm not using any other fluid.
2000 CR-V, was shifting harshly. transmission fluid serviced at dealer at 120k, vehicle is at 168k miles. Did a drain and fill with dw-1. shifting much more smoothly. can barely feel the shift from 1st to 2nd gear. can't feel the 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th.
So yes, drain and fill with dw-1. Even if your transmission isn't shifting harshly, your transmission will thank you for it.
