$15 each plug? It can't be reused with a new washer?
They use the same kind of plugs as a BMW. Single use. Do not use a washer.
They look like this.
And my appologies for my previous posting about the Type 2 fluid. Looks like the new 10 speed does in fact use Type 2 fluid.

Replace A/T fluid
For 9-speed A/T model: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher transmission temperatures. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If the vehicle is regularly driven under these conditions, have the transmission fluid changed at 60,000 miles or after the first 3 years, then every 30,000 miles or 2 years.
9-speed A/T model: Use genuine Honda Automatic Transmission Fluid (Type 3).
NOTE: Using the wrong type of fluid will damage the transmission.
10-speed A/T model: Use genuine Honda Automatic Transmission Fluid (Type 2).
NOTE: Using the wrong type of fluid will damage the transmission.
