Default Auto Transmission fluid?

Hi, its me again. Always asking questions. I wanna try and change the auto trans fluid on my 95 Accord LX I4. I have the Haynes manual and it says I need Dexron II but the few places I know have other types. Can any one name me a few excellent fluids that I can use and is meant for my car? And if can can you explain and show me where fluid drain plug is? because the Haynes manual only shows the pic of the nut but doesnt show where it is? pic or detail instructions would be fine.

Once again sorry for bothering everyone all the time. This is my first car and I wanna learn a thing or two. Your knowledge is much appreciated.

you can use dexron III or get honda ATF from the dealer.

now for the drain plug..turn your steering wheel to the right, now go to the passenger side you should see a bolt at the bottom of the case to the tranny, you remove with a ratchet and an extension, you don't need a socket. you refill through the dip stick, which is short and down low on the backside of the tranny.

I would just use genuine Honda ATF in there. putting a off-brand might comprimise your ride

use honda ATF. if your looking for a good additive for ATF look in the Lucas oil products, they work wonders.

Use only HONDA ATF. DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT put any othe fluid in ur transmission, doesn't matter if its Mobil 1 quality or whatever. Honda transmissions slips / goes because of non-honda fluids.
