Based on the search results, Honda ATF DW1 is the replacement for Honda ATF Z1. The DW1 fluid was introduced for Honda vehicles manufactured in 2005 and later, while the Z1 fluid was used in older Honda vehicles. Both fluids are compatible with non-CVT Honda transmissions, and a drain and fill can be done using DW1 instead of Z1 at the next scheduled interval [[7]]. It is important to note that some drivers may notice subtle differences in shifting when using DW1 in vehicles initially equipped with Z1, but the shifting feel can be adjusted by reintroducing some Z1 fluid to the mix.
