Yesterday I had my gearbox oil replaced at my local Honda Dealer. Reasonable £75 for the oil and drain plug.
However I noticed oil was Q8 not the requested ATF-Z1 or ATF-DW1.
So I dropped the dealer a note to this effect and got this reply. What do you make of it guys?
Hello Mr R....
Thank you for your email concerning the transmission oil on your invoice.
I can confirm that we did supply and fit Q8 ATF in your vehicle. This is a Dexron III synthetic oil and is branded as Q8 ATF 15ED and I have attached a spec sheet for you to see which explains its technical specifications.
Whilst Honda sell their branded product, Honda don’t manufacture their own oil and as a dealer we are required to use lubricant products which meet the vehicle requirements and I ***ure this product actually exceeds the requirements of your vehicle.
I don’t know if you had the transmission oil changed as a routine or to rectify a problem but I trust the repair was satisfactory and your vehicle is running well?
If you do have any problems or if I can be of further ***istance, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Signed..
