And these "chemicals" are only changed by prolonged heat and pressure, it makes no sense why Honda would engineer lubricants that undergo chemical reactions with the materials that they use to build their components. Changing fluid will simply replenish spent "chemicals" with the originally intended chemicals. What will be removed, is any metal debris (that gets pulled to the magnetic plug). The slipping would more likely be due to the freed room that the metal debris had previously occupied. It's a machine, not a fish tank. CHANGE YOUR FLUIDS REGARDLESS IF YOU MISSED THE DATE.
