OT, Honda car

We just got an 02 Honda Civic. Was looking through the manual and it says using other than Honda oil in the transmission (automatic) for extended periods will cause problems, sticking, guming up, etc. It does say Dexron is OK to use in an emergency, however it should be draimed and flushed several times with Honda oil. Does anyone know if this is so or is it Honda trying to sell their oil? I guess for what it would cost it wouldn't hurt to buy thier stuff. Also, is there a vent on the transmission? The fill/dipstick seems to fit on the loose side and I was thinking of adding an "O" ring around it to make it more dirt and water proof, but don't want to seal it too well if it should happen to be the vent too.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

My daughter bought a used 98 Honda Odessey van in 2000. It has had transmission troubles galore.She had what she thought was the Honda 100,000 mile warranty. More on this charade later. First transmission problem was that it began leaking fluid on the driveway when stopped at about 50K miles. They said it was the shifter cable hookup "O" ring and they said it covered by the warranty. This was shortly after she got it. Then after a few more miles it started leaking fluid again. This time they said it was the dip stick and they had to pull the transmission to fix it. They stuck her with a bill for $2.00 for the "O" ring and $150+ to install it. She drove it home and it still was leaking so they fixed it again. This time they told her tht they had installed the wrong "O" ring and that they would fix it. It took them about a couple of hours this time and told her they didn't pull the transmission. The leak stayed on and when she carried it back again they told her that the main case gasket between the 2 halves of the transmission was leaking and that the warranty did not cover gaskets, "O" rings and seals!Thats when she discovered the warranty was NOT from Honda. It was another company that sells warranties to dealers. She threw a @##$%^& fit and after many stupid useless conversations with the warranty company, then with everybody at Honda she finally got Honda to furnish a reconditioned transmission and she has to pay $450.00 for them to install it. Don't think she'll buy another one from them. Bottom line here is that I don't think they ever diagnosed the correct source of leakage to begin with.The car only has 78,000 miles on it now and has been faithfullly dealer serviced for what ever that is worth. Honda has had a multitude of transmission problems with these cars. Do a web search on "Honda transmission troubles and recalls". They have had some recalls for bad transmission problems. Guess the best thing that happened through all this was she did get them to take a Saturn in on trade. Gene

We have a '95 accord wagon with an automatic tranny. It has always had oil provided by Honda and there has never been (knock on wood) any problems with it. It is at half-life 125K,Go Honda!!!
