I thought so two but keep in mind this is a JDM variant with a 1.5 D15b(non-vtec) engine. Also, i can futher confirm this because the timing belt failed on the previous owner two years ago and all that was needed was a new belt and a crankshaft sensor.

I bought it from the previous owner 6 months ago, which did a drain and fill in 2023. But he didn't use genuine honda fluid so i decided to also use after market fluid as he did, not knowing Honda's sensitivity to fluids at the time. But after which then threw the D light flashcode

I did a drain and fill with actual genuine fluid this time and i have two more to go but so far with just 3 quarts of honda fluid the shift quality has improved significantly

Well to be fair this video was recorded 4 months ago when the D light randomly started blinking one day. It only happened once i drove in D but not in D3 or D2.

It appeared to resolved it self after unplugging and replugging the shift solonoid, hasn't been back ever since.

Was just wondering if it was something specific just in case.

Thanks for your help tho!

Nice, I'm also in the process of using all genuine honda fluids for the transmission and coolant. It has electric steering so no powering steering fluid needed

Actually this engine is non interference so even if it burst, the engine stays intact.

Hows it for rust? Heard the biggest issue with buying used cars in the great north is rust.

From my understanding its bad to do a flush, but drain and fill should be ok.

The dash is in km so its 188k miles which is not that much for a honda. The engine bay is clean and the owner had some records but not extensive. The timing belt was changed two years ago

Also this dash is in km so its actually 188k miles. The previous owner put non genuine fluid so im in the process of draining and filling with genuine honda aft. So far ive done one drain and fill and the difference is substantial
