I was browsing through the owners manual for my '03 Odyssey, and in several places are stern warnings about using only Genuine Honda fluids such as brake or tranny fluid. I was frightenend by the threat of system corrosion and catastrophic failures .
Are these warnings legitimate or is it simply a way to ensure the money goes from my hand directly into Honda's pocket??

Not to hijack my own thread or anything, but you say flushing the tranny is a no no? Just a drain and refill ok? (I wasn't considering a flush, just gleaning information).
So.....Looking for more feedback on the Genuine Honda liquids......

I'm for a while with Hondas (civic and Accord) and I know for shure that
genuine fluids are a must for automatic transmission and steering system.
A local honda-dealer parts guy told me that for a cooling system I can use
any brand but you should check a color match (green to green, red to red, or
any color compatible)
And no flushes for tranny, just refill.
