After thinking about it, it would be better to drain the pan (2.9 qt) and refill every now and then. Maybe I'll do that every 6 months. I pretty sure D4 met the spec the Honda manual called out. I'll double check.
Clearances for the most part are about the same in this car as my VTR1000 motorcycle with a notable expection for the camshaft to holder oil clearance. Its .002-.0035in for the car and .0008-.0019in for the bike.
When I have time I'll post all the numbers.

Satterfi, I see no problem with your propsal so long as D4 meets the requirments. I was thinking that Dex III was the prefered(alternative) fluid and redline has that spec. as well. I thought that D4 was for raceing/high heat but I could be wrong. As far as oil weigts go if your climate is warm most of the year and for the next 6 months I see no problem. I am woundering though why you are changeing such small quanitys of fluid so frequently.
I know my Mothers Tundra does not have a servicable transmission filter. It has a steel screen that back flush's into a type of trap and it requires a drain and refill every 18,000 miles. You simply pull the plug 5 quarts of fluid drains out 5 go back in.
