Hi! Recently acquired a 2004 Acura MDX Touring with 300,000 miles. It could use a little tranny fluid but Honda discontinued the OEM tranny fluid for this vehicle.
What other brand/type of tranny fluids can I use that are safe for this vehicle and that also wont break the bank? It doesnt look like Supertec is ok😂..
Thanks kindly!
Several online sites state that Honda ATF DW1 is the recommended replacement for the Z1.
For example, search: Honda the Other Side Honda ATF-Z1 Equivalent?
Idemitsu is the OEM supplier for Honda/Acura fluids, they may still offer the fluid you need.

fluids aren't usually discontinued. They are superceded, which mean that whatever replaces it meets or exceeds the specifications.
