I have a question its really important because I need to do a transmission fluid and filter change on my 2003 Honda Odyssey it has 173,000 miles and the fluid is starting to burn and I need to get it replaced before it causes damage.
I was told ATF Z1 is what it requires but I looked everywhere for Z1 and it is unavailable and I seen it was discontinued and now it only shows DW1.
What should I put in it is DW1 the replacement for Z1 I do not want to put the wrong fluid in.

If the vehicle has never had a flush before don’t get one done now!!! It’s too late. You will destroy your transmission.
What color is the fluid? Is it red, dark red, redish brown, greenish brown, black…?DW1 is the replacement for ATF Z1. Do not ‘flush’ the transmission. Just do a drain and refill. 3 quarts is all you’ll need.
I never flush transmissions it always asks for trouble, just going to drain it, replace the filter and fill it.
Regular transmission flushes are good for the transmission and are recommended by all manufacturers.
The problem is, if you go too long a trans flush can kill your transmission. Most manufacturers recommend it be done around every 50k or so.
I would really recommend you not change the fluid if it is real dark or greenish.
