Transmission Fluid: Mercon, Dexron
My manual recommends Dexron II or Honda ATF transmission fluid, however, I don't think they make Dexron II anymore, or it isn't on the shelfat my local auto parts store. What can be used as a replacement? Mercon V?

if your OE specs called for Dexron II or IIE then the line of transmission fluids that are just standard multi-vehicle ATF's are the new Dexron lines, I.E. Castrol Domestic/Import multi vehicle, or any other brand that says just ATF. Z-1 is good as well, or AMSOIL ATF.

Im not sure who manufactures and bottles the Advance brand but trust me its not up to par even with the name brand fluids. Ive seen it run through old domestic vehicles and cause problems.

don't be a cheap **BUTT**, use honda OEM parts for the best results expecially in COLD WEATHER as Honda ATF flows better. I can never understand why people buy a car and then want to save money by using the cheapest stuff possible when doing maint.
