Rich is probably wondering if his stash of DW-1 will still work with a new G2 if he decides to buy!It was a joke, as there is only one option for Honda automatics.
Also, what's with people so concerned about the fluids on a vehicle they don't own yet? Do people hedge their fluids before buying a car these days? Am I missing something?
Honda ATF DW-1Would like to know what is the trans fluid for
the G2 RL?
There are five Honda transmission fluids including two ATFs:Seeing Honda DW-1 is the only ATF available......
Ah, I forgot all about the German 9 speed. Should've known it'd have its own fancy stuff.Honda ATF DW-1
There are five Honda transmission fluids including two ATFs:
MTF for manual transmissions
CVT for Civic Hybrid, CRZ, Civic GX & HX, Insight
HCF2 for 2nd-generation CVTs in the Fit, HR-V, Civic, Accord
ATF DW-1 (replaced Z1)
ATF Type 3.1 for 2016 Pilot Touring & Elite*
* This fluid currently retails for $48.52 per quart!

It's surprising to me just how different the powertrains sound, feel, and perform between the G1 and G2 despite both having J35 engines and the latter having only one more gear. Significant improvements in acceleration, NVH, and efficiency were made. The G2's shifts are faster, yet smoother. I also prefer the quieter tuning of the G2 compared to the "powerful" sound that was intentionally tuned into the G1, but I respect that some people like to hear their engines. Personally, I'll be glad when everything is driven by electric motors and there is almost no powertrain noise all - just gobs of silent torque at all speeds.I made the mistake of driving a G2.
And I would like to get one before Honda changes
the trans to add more gears.
Yes the G2 was very quiet compared to my G1.It's surprising to me just how different the powertrains sound, feel, and perform between the G1 and G2 despite both having J35 engines and the latter having only one more gear.

I truly wonder if a set of Michelin Premier LTX would be quieter than the OE Firestones.....that is the one thing I notice, the tire noise and some transferred vibration from the tires into the vehicle on rougher surfaces...much more so than my sedan.Sometimes the road noise can be deafening.
