Genuine Honda ATF Transmission Fluid 08268-99901HE – for Automatic Gearboxes

Honda ATF DW-1 08268-99901PRO – Genuine Honda Automatic Transmission Fluid 1L

Honda ATF 08268-99901PRO is genuine Honda ATF DW-1 automatic transmission fluid dedicated to Honda automatic gearboxes. It is the current OEM service fluid used by Honda dealers and the official replacement for the earlier Honda ATF Z1 transmission fluid. One bottle contains 1 litre of oil.

The fluid provides the correct friction characteristics, stable hydraulic pressure and protection for clutch packs, bearings and valve bodies. Using original Honda transmission fluid helps to keep shift quality, gearbox durability and overall drivability exactly as designed by Honda.

Rebranding – from 08268-99901HE to 08268-99901PRO

Honda introduced a rebranding of its ATF DW-1: the former part number 08268-99901HE has been replaced by 08268-99901PRO. Along with the new number came a refreshed bottle and label design, but the ATF DW-1 specification itself has not changed.

This means that Honda ATF sold under codes 08268-99901HE and 08268-99901PRO is the same OEM product in terms of use and performance – both are suitable wherever Honda ATF Z1 or Honda ATF DW-1 is specified in the owner’s manual.

When is Honda ATF DW-1 the right choice?

Use this oil in Honda automatic transmissions that require:

• Honda ATF DW-1 – current factory-fill specification for many models.
• Honda ATF Z1 – DW-1 is the official Honda ATF-Z1 equivalent recommended by the manufacturer.

Typical applications include a wide range of Honda Civic, Accord, CR-V, Jazz / Fit, HR-V, FR-V, Stream and other models with conventional automatic gearboxes. Always verify the required oil type for your exact engine and transmission code in the vehicle handbook or workshop manual.

Key benefits of Honda ATF DW-1

• OEM quality – the same automatic transmission fluid used by Honda dealers.
• Smoother shifting – helps to reduce shudder, flare and harsh engagement.
• Stable viscosity – reliable lubrication at cold start and high operating temperatures.
• Wear and oxidation protection – extends service life of clutches and hydraulic components.
• Optimised friction characteristics – tailored to Honda’s shift logic and valve body design.
• Backward compatible – designed as a safe replacement for older ATF Z1 Honda applications.

Service recommendations

For long gearbox life, the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) should be changed at regular intervals. In everyday conditions many owners perform a drain-and-fill every 40–60 000 km; heavy city driving, towing or track use may require more frequent changes. Always follow the maintenance schedule specified for your particular Honda model.

During service, check the fluid level according to Honda procedure – usually with the engine at operating temperature and the selector moved through all positions. Correct level and the correct Honda ATF DW-1 transmission fluid are both important for reliable operation.

FAQ – Honda ATF DW-1 / ATF Z1 transmission fluid 08268-99901PRO

1. My manual specifies Honda ATF Z1 – can I use this oil?
Yes. Honda ATF DW-1 under part number 08268-99901PRO is the official service replacement for Honda ATF Z1, so it can be used wherever ATF-Z1 was originally recommended for a conventional automatic gearbox.

2. Is this the same product as the older 08268-99901HE?
Yes. The change from 08268-99901HE to 08268-99901PRO is a rebranding and packaging update. The fluid remains genuine Honda ATF DW-1 with unchanged specification.

3. How many litres of Honda ATF do I need for a change?
A single drain-and-fill typically takes about 3–4 litres of ATF Honda, depending on the gearbox design. For a complete exchange or several drain-and-fill cycles you will need more. Always check the capacity for your specific transmission.

4. Can I mix Honda ATF DW-1 with other ATF fluids?
In an emergency a small top-up with another ATF of similar specification might be possible, but for best protection and consistent shift quality it is recommended to use only genuine Honda transmission fluids and avoid mixing different types or brands.

5. Is Honda ATF DW-1 suitable for CVT or DCT gearboxes?
Most Honda CVT and dual-clutch transmissions require dedicated CVT or DCT fluids, not standard ATF. Only use this product if the manufacturer documentation clearly permits Honda ATF DW-1 for your specific transmission; otherwise choose the correct fluid specified for your vehicle.
