1996 Honda Civic DX; 102,400 mi; 1 June 2012.
Drain 2.9 qt and refill with Redline D4.
1998 Honda Civic LX; 106,400 mi; 1 June 2012.
Drain 2.9 qt and refill with Redline D4.
Both cars now have a mix of mostly Redline D4 and some Honda ATF after two drain and refills. The 1996 (subjectively) shifts a little smoother.

Did a drain (about 3.5 qt) and fill of original (?) ATF with Valvoline MaxLife Dex/Merc ATF. Will follow up with at least 2 more drain and fills over the next two months, and then once annually from here on out.

Mileage on previous fill: 4000kms (fluids we supposedly changed during the car's compliance when first imported - I did a fluid and filer overhaul when i picked it up)

Amsoil MTG a few years ago and never looked back.

Redline MT-90
I've been using MT-90 for almost the entire life of the vehicle. About 140k on the clock now. This last fill got about 4yrs/50k miles on it. When I got the UOA results, the TAN came back acidic, but wear numbers were excellent.
