Reddit reviews Honda FBA_08200-9008 08200-9008 Automatic Transmission Fluid, 4 Pack, 1 US QT /946 ML

200K miles on a gearbox with original transmission fluid is absolutely incredible.

Im sure it was changed once or twice. But that said, it couldnt hurt to spend $80 in fluid and a filter and try and replace it.

Its almost as easy as doing an oil change on the car.

Edit:

Fluid

Filter

You have a 5-speed automatic transmission. CVTs do not have gears, so if your shifter says P-R-N-D-3-2-1 or something with numbers below 'D' then you have a normal transmission: in which case it takes Honda DW-1 automatic transmission fluid. If for whatever odd reason you do have a CVT you should be able to tell by looking for the transmission dipstick/fill plug it will have a label right on it that says CVT (Then it would take Honda CVT-1 fluid). If no label, pull the dipstick and if the fluid is pink or red (or off-red brown [old dirty fluid]) then you can be sure it's regular ATF: use Honda DW-1 fluid. For every drain and refill you will use almost 3 quarts. If your fluid is dirtier/old then you may have to do this process over a couple times (almost 3 quarts each time).
