For what it's worth, here is an ATF Used Oil Analysis report from my recently purchased 2006 Accord.
This oil was confirmed to the best of my ability with the Honda dealer who installed it confirming it to be Genuine Honda DW-1.
This DW-1 was installed by Manly Honda of Santa Rosa CA on June 19th 2015 at 80,685 miles. I beleive this was the first transsmission service.
The customer was charged for 12 quarts of ATF on the service invoice.
Manly Honda also use/installed the following additives at the time of this transmission service:
- PN 106 BG Quick Clean for Transmissoins
- PN 310 BG ATC Automatic Transmission Conditioner
I am aware and fully understand that the Honda Dealer's use of aftermarket oil additives has somewhat skewed results of this UOA.
I got the UOA done because I was curious what the Viscosity of the ATF looked like after 35k miles and what the wear numbers looked like. The only thing Polaris flagged as abnormal is the viscosity being "Moderately Low". The only data I can seem to find on Honda DW-1 is an MSDS sheet which puts the viscosity at 6.83 @ 100C. Don't know if the lower viscosity condition on this UOA is from the DW-1 fluid shearing and or the aftermarket additives diluting the formulation?
Since purchasing this car, I've personally performed a 3/3 fluid drain and fill, ATF filter change and replaced both pressure switches.
