Gear oil change for Honda civic 2011 AT
Hello, I want to change the gear oil in my car, a 2011 Honda Civic with an automatic transmission
The book recommends using only "Honda Genuine ATF-Z1" and that is what I will do.
In my country I found only "HONDA ATF DW-1" is it the same?
ATF-DW1 supercedes and is compatible with ATF-Z1, which is no longer available unless you run across some old stock.

Thanks

I just saw in the vehicle's service history that the transmission fluid was changed at 75k km. The vehicle is now at 157k km and I don't know if it has had another transmission service since then... I want to change the fluid and I realized that there could be a problem if I take everything out at once... What is the right way to do it? And one more thing, I checked the oil level and according to Honda's explanation in the book (warm up the engine, turn it off, wait a minute and check) the gear fluid is high But according to explanations on YouTube, they say that the vehicle should be left running, the gear fluid is fine... is it good that way?
according to explanations on YouTube ...
follow your manual to the letter
What is the right way to do it?
drain completely, replace the filter, and fill
Read the FAQ for details.
And do you have to do it several times? Or just empty what comes out and put in the amount that came out? I understood that an automatic transmission never releases all the fluid and the old will mix with the new... Is it okay for it to be like this? If the car has traveled 150km without changing all the fluid (at the dealership they took out and put in one liter) and I now change it, won't it destroy the transmission and cause it to slip? or something like that?
I can tell you didn't read the faq
I went through all the information there.
1. I think it is possible and necessary to change the transmission fluid...
I don't feel anything unusual. Maybe I don't know how to feel what is needed, but about 80K km ago, the fluid was changed.
1.1 The liquid is dark I would expect it to look a little better...
1.2 I am afraid that despite the replacement the liquid inside

(Although Scotty points out that these are much greater distances than my vehicle has traveled at all and according to the receipt I have, it was drained and filled with transmission fluid at 75K km)
2. According to the second video in the list "How to Fix a Slipping Transmission in Your Car (Fluid Change)
Scotty explains how to measure the height of the liquid.
If I measure according to the way he explained the height is good, if I check according to the explanation in the book the height of the liquid is higher than it should be.
