V Max Life does not list DW1 on the specs.. It does list Z1... So I dunno.
250k on the original transmission in that gen Accord V6? What did you change the ATF every month?
Maxlife will be fine. It is the LV type like DW1, and your 02 doesn't need DW1 anyway. Also, Maxlife
does list DW1
Castrol's Full Synthetic ATF works great in Hondas, too.
No that ATF has been changed on each 3rd oil change.. and that is just 1 dain and fill.. Also I just changed the dual linear transmission selenod..
Also Im going to change the other 3.. When I changed the dual linear the filters were clean.... However there was too much resistance when i checked the selenoid itself..
So i got a denso and the code is not gone..
So this trans has been well taken care of.
Also I looked at your vavlone link you put.. Did you notice it said SUITABLE for use.. I really don't like that word.. I rather have recommended or meets original .. becasue anything can be suitable... I mean in my Honda owners manual it says 10W30 Motor oil is suitable for ATF... Then it does go on to change to Honda ATFZ1 as soon as possible.. beware of that word suitable
from means mean right with respect to some end.
