Read your HONDA manual which will tell you you have to use ATF fluid.
If thats not available you may use Dextron but you have to change over.
Ok, since my us telling you you must use honda ATF and you disagree, how about you drain your tranny fluid and re-fill with another non-honda brand and you'll see what we are talking about.
Honda ATF has a special lubricant in it that others dont.
I didnt get into detail with the honda guy but almost every avid honda owner knows you must use ATF
