Non-Honda ATF will cause premature degradation of clutch friction materials in some Honda ATs. This is a commonly know fact and why so many people will tell you to stick to OE lubricants with Hondas. I have watched a sibling learn this the hard way trying to save $1/qt on ATF. Additives like Lubeguard should NEVER be used in a Honda.
