Using a transmission fluid other than Acura HCF-2 may adversely affect the operation and durability of your vehicle’s transmission, and damage the transmission.
Any damage caused by using a transmission fluid that is not equivalent to Acura HCF-2 is not covered by Acura’s new vehicle limited warranty.

Detail

NOTICE
If Acura MTF is not available, you may use the API certificated SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20 viscosity motor oil as a temporary measure.
Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does not contain the proper additives for the transmission and continued use can cause decreased shifting performance and lead to transmission damage.
