Good day good people
I drive honda accord 2005, though I do not usually drive it like that. At least once in a week I do drive it.
Yesterday I drove it to church, on my way coming back home I noticed the D light blinking, then a reverse light shows up while driving. Before now, when I turn on ignition the D light shows up and goes off withing a second but now the light is blinking, some time it goes normal or not even show up at all.
When I reach home I do some research on Google, one of the cause was to check the ATF level which I did this morning, and truly the level was below the first hole.
Now, where I got lost is, can I add ATF or flush out the one that is inside and refill it with new one, because I don't know the fluid that was there before, and I don't know the previous owner as to ask him with ATF he was using on it.
Budget is tight right now, I want to know which fluid to buy in the case if I can get original dw1. Thanks

Top up if fluid is red. If not, drain and refill with original dw1.

Your car is too modern to be left at the mercy of a mechanic with outdated knowledge.

The Ninth generation comes in three transmission types - manual, automatic and CVT.

4-cylinder engine - Honda HCF-2

I told the mechanic on phone not to use the Toyota T IV that I would get the HCF 2. The goofer still went ahead to buy 1 quart of T IV to top my Honda accord 2013. I was very livid with him. What can I do now? Should i do a transmission flush or should i leave it like that since the T IV looks similar to the HCF 2 as they are both red oils with almost same viscosity.

Is there any difference between this two ATF, are they original, I have bn seeing this dw1 in many place and I begin to doubt if they are original.

How can someone know and identify the original, is there a sign on the container that one can find. I don't want buy something that will damage my transmission.

Hello gurus,

please which transmission fluid is recommended for Toyota Camry 2007 v6.
i changed my transmission unit 3months ago and i was not expecting that the ATF will be drained by this time. Any ideas what the issue might be?
I have not noticed any anomaly when driving except for the MAINT REQ light

Maintenance required light is easy to remove. It is by pressing the button of the odometer when starting the car. Check YouTube for more details

Again, which oil did your mechanic used when the transmission was changed?

The oil to use when servicing the gear is Toyota WS

If you can't afford D, forget about J.

Go for good Dexron III subsitutes

Castrol Transmax DEX III ATF
Aisin AFW+ ATF
German Adler ATF
Mannol ATF JWS 3309
