Well, I knew I would stir up a hornets nest with that topic/post!
I DO appreciate all the comments and stories. At this instant in time, it has been two weeks (obviously not very long) but AT THIS POINT, it is still operating/shifting perfectly and easily, both up and down shifts. Trust me.... I WILL keep an eye on it and pay attention. If it does start acting different or poorly, I am no fool, and I will/would change back to the Honda Z-1 fluid. The problem with this whole issue is that there are a TON of variables in all the different vehicles, their operation, maintenance, etc.
Bottomline: I am a big boy, and I did my research and made my calculated gamble. Time will tell. I will try to remember to post back on here as to what happens or doesn't happen. Again, thanks for your comments.

P.S. I am a fan of Honda products and have had extremely good luck with them over many years, but one thing I am taking away from all this is that the Honda transmission is NOT one of their absolute best products/designs. This doesn't mean it
is a "bad" product, but clearly, it is not a "great" product.
