![]() ![]() I don’t know why the Honda guys didn’t re-flush it. If I promise to never use them ever again, can we move on? What’s done is done. So now I’m worried I have a mix of genuine Honda fluid with Dex/Merc fluid.Īlright, time get off Pep Boys. Is there a reason they used 3 quarts and Pep Boys used 12 quarts? Does this mean the Honda dealer didn’t “flush” out everything? The Honda guy said they can’t really get all the old fluid out anyway but that was normal. They changed it using genuine Honda transmission fluid, but this time my receipt only had 3 quarts of Honda ATF listed. I decide to drive out to a Honda dealer next day, told them the story, and they said not to worry. I actually got a good mix: someone say it’s fine, another said get the fluid replaced with genuine Honda right now, another says it’ll be fine for now, but next time you change fluids do the genuine Honda…etc…I can’t get a unanimous answer. ![]() I wanted to doublecheck, so I made a few more calls to other mechanics and car garages at random asking for people’s opinion. They said they flushed it out, (they said they had to do it 3 times?!?) They said Dex/Merc works with my Honda and it will be fine. I get home, look at the receipt, and lo and behold, stupid me, it listed 12 quarts of Castrol Dex/Merc (whatever that is?!?) so I call them back and ask about that. Last week I went to Pep Boys, and did like the manual said, told them to use genuine Honda transmission fluid. A few weeks ago, my Honda’s (Civic 2008) maintenance minder lit up telling me I need to change transmission fluid. I am about at my wit’s end with this, and am hoping someone here can help me. ![]()
