Is this who makes Honda DW-1?

[Jake777]

I was trying to find some real data on the Honda DW1 fluid like viscosity and VI, Flash point and I ran into this company. They make a product with DW-1 right on the front label and even list the various Honda part numbers all over the place. Does anyone know anything about them and if so could they be the ones making Honda DW1? I don't know much about ATF fluid but I would like to learn. I have an 05 Odyssey and I was looking to run Maxlife in place of DW1 but the Viscosity difference at 40c is obviously a big difference making Honda DW1 look to be a bit more special than it seems. Does anyone know where to find honda DW1 specs?

At various times, Mitsui and/or SK industries have blended ATF's for the Japanese market.

Depends on who had the contract that year.
