Redline D4 ATF

[Gotwheels]

Hi all (new to forum), Does anyone know if Redline D4 ATF is directly compatible with Honda Z1 ATF (or DW-1)? I have a Honda friend that wants her ATF changed and I am inquiring if the Redline D4 (what I use in my Honda) is compatible for a drain/refill ( ~3 qt.), without a flush of the system. Thanks.

Redlines phone number it is an 800 # so they value their customers ask them and report the answer 1- 800- 624- 7958

Yes call Redline, they are very helpful. If not D4 they should have an ATF that is compatible.

In reading the forum, I've heard of plenty of Honda owners being very satisfied with Valvoline Maxlife. I know you're asking about Redline, but just something to note. And Maxlife is a full syn.

They have application chart on their website. I used D4 in my 2010 toyota corolla with no problems.

I took the suggestionsand talked with Redline and they said their D4 ATF would be compatible with the Honda Z1 ATF. Thanks.

I've got it in my 1996 Honda Accord. I changed to the Redline at about 60,000 miles (previous changes were Z-1) and again at 95,000 miles. I added a bottle of Lubegard Red the first time and the last time added a bottle of Lubegard Black (maybe not even necessary...shifts nice and smooth with both...can't notice any difference). I do a total of 3 drain and fills each time with a few miles between each drain (you're looking at about $100 or so for the fluid if you're going to drain it 3 times). Shifting is MUCH better than it was with the Z-1 plus it's a quality synthetic fluid. I intend to continue using it (although I may extend the next change to 45,000 miles) and recommend it highly...good stuff.

Semi OT, but I use this in my truck's power sterering pump. Smoother/easier now and I had to adjusted how I turned the wheel.
