Alternative to Honda ATF
Any acceptable alternatives to Honda ATF? I drive past probably 10 parts stores before I get to the Honda dealer. Doing a drain & fill on 2006 Civic.

Name brand (penzoil/castro/mobil) ATf is going to cost you $6-7 per quart. Honda ATF list price is something like $8. I would never suggest someone uses an universal ATF instead of Honda Atf.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Alternative to Honda ATF
Absolutely correct fluid is not expensive and you don't have to wonder if it's right or not.
You only need to buy 3 quarts for a single drain and fill, surely you can afford the difference.
Replacing a trans is not cheap.
