Curly,

Thanks for the correction. I was getting the two mixed up since I also have a
'98 CRV.

Like I said, the Honda Factory Service manual recommended Dexron at the time
without any mention of a Honda fluid. I'm looking at it right now in my '88
Accord Service manual. It's right there in the maintenance section on page 4-
4 and also on page 15-16 in the Auto Trans section.

I plan to drain the fluid twice(in a week span) to get as much Honda ATF in
there as possible.
