I noticed in my 2003 Honda CRV that the transmission dipstick was missing. The car has 76,000 miles and was last serviced at 65,000 for the 60k serive that included the ATF drain/refill. My concern is that the oil has been exposed to moisture and other contaminants over the 8 months and 11,000 miles. Honda doesn't recommend a ATF flush, but how else can I be sure that most of the contaminants have been removed?
Also, if I do flush the system...would it be ok to replace the honda ATF with Valvoline Maxlife or with it hurt the trans? I've always been told that honda ATs and sensitive to the fluid.
