If you are also interested, just do an eBay search for ATF DW-1 and you will see a seller by the name of hotprizes.Īccording to my information, when removing the drain plug from the CT transmission, will only allow about 3 quarts of transmission fluid to be removed.

I just purchased a case (12 quarts) of OEM ATF DW-1 fluid on eBay for BUY IT NOW for $54.99. Also, I’m a former Transaxle Technician/Instructor, I tend to prefer OEM fluids while the vehicle is under warranty.

Shipping will hurt you as it runs about $2 or so a quart. You can find it discounted for about $6.21 per quart or less on the Internet. My local Honda dealer informs me that the MSRP is $8.23 per quart (less tax).
