    Which transmission fluid should be use for honda civic 2001
    Dear all,
    I have got Honda Civic 2001, 5 door.
    I wanted to change Transmission fluid but I do not know what kind of fluid should I use. In my country / MONGOLIA/ we do not have a HONDA representatives and nobody can advice. At some car service we have CVT NS1 and CVT NS2 TRANSMISSION FLUID but on the transmission cover I can see a stamp S5A CVT, 2. Which one should I use? Or no one of these fluid are incorrect? Please help.

    Looking at a "Honda Oils, Fluids, and Chemicals Reference Guide," dated 2002, it specifies Honda Genuine Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF-Z1, Honda P/N 08200-9001. Here's what it says:

    . Formulated for all Honda/Acura vehicles, including CVT transmissions.

    . Optimum shift quality.

    . High viscosity index fluid.

    . Special anti-wear characteristics.

    . Special additives protect seals and o-rings for prolonged service life.

    My local Honda dealer tells me that ATF-Z1, for CVT applications, has been superceded by Honda Genuine Continuously Variable Transmission Fluid, Honda P/N 08200-9006.

    Change the transmission fluid, after the car reaches normal operating temperature, on your Civic every 48,000 km or 2 years, whichever comes first.

    Here are several other products worth checking out:

    . Red Line Synthetic Oil - Automatic Transmission Fluids - H-Type CVT

    . AmalieStore:: Wolf’s Head Universal Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid, Transmission Fluids, 836-92866-56

    I prefer full-synthetic transmission fluids.
    ---------------------

    I believe CVT NS1 and CVT NS2 are fluids for Nissan CVT vehicles.
