Mercon 5 = Honda Z1 ATF ?

Jul 05, 2008 5 Replies

Hello



I have a 2004 Honda Civic and would like to change the ATF fluid.



The owners manual lists Honda ATF Z1, so I guess I need to go to the dealer?



I was at Walmart today and I saw Mercon V ATF and on the bottle it mentioned that it meets Honda Z1



Is this ok? Or do I need to use the Honda fluid?


Is there a big deal, I don't want to do anything foolish, however I don't want to pay extra for Honda ATF unless I have to.


Well, let's see.

Someone wants to sell you something. Not only that, they want to catch your eye, so they make it so they can sell it with a CHEAP price tag.

At Walmart, no less.

And then they claim it meets Honda's specs.

Hey, Roseanne Barr is a woman. Just like Paris Hilton. Really. I can get a doctor to certify that.

Gotta tell ya' dude-- neither of those two would fit my definition of what a woman is....

yeah, well, me either--but you get my drift...

Yeah, but I wouln't touch either...
