Quick question. My ATF is a little low and I have a bottle of Honda ATF for my car but it's been opened before. I've had it for 1 year stored in my department. Is it okay to use? I'm honesty not sure about that kind of stuff.

Sure is. As long as it was capped and doesn't have dirt and stuff in it then you are good to go.

Just make sure the fluid is Dextron II or III.

Let us know if you have more questions. Thanks

Yes. It says it is compatible from 2017 prior, non CVT or 9 speed transmissions so it will work. You may be able to find a cheaper fluid because your vehicle being older does not require anything but Dextron II or III but this will work. Thanks
