No, you have to use the special CVT fluid.No, you have to use the special CVT fluid.
CVT means continuously variable transmission and CVT fluid is transmission fluid for such a transmission.
Honda ATF is used only for Honda's Automatic Transmission vehicles. HMMF & CVT Fluid are used for Honda's Continuously Variable Transmission vehicles. HMMF is more expensive and for the Japan domestic market. CVT for the export models but both works well.
The DX, LX, and EX models (with the non-CVT transmission) require 2.5 quarts of Honda ATF-Z1 fluid. The GX and Hybrid models equipped with a Continuously Variable transmission require 3.1 quarts of Honda CVT fluid.

Unless you have a CVT transmission use only genuine Honda ATF-DW1 automatic transmission fluid. Use nothing else.
Transmission fluid (Civic CVT manual every 50,000mls,Transmission fluid (A/T or ?/T) auto every 30,000mls
Supposedly it is the very same fluid as Honda OEM fluid. But, do you really want to add a fluid to that expensive Honda CVT transmission that is not Honda approved just to save a few dollars?
'96-'99 CVT fluid changes are relatively simple. There is a bolt on the passenger side of the transmission that accepts a 1/2" socket wrench nub. Remove that to drain fluid. Put new fluid in (approx 4 quarts). BTW Honda CVT fluid is no longer available, talk to your Honda dealer about what fluid to use. They recommended to me the Honda Genuine ATF. Whatever you do, use only Honda approved ATF for this tranny. Also, flushing the system is recommended for this trans since it has no filter (just the standard magnetic bolt).

no you can not, and don't put any fluid other than original Honda fluid in the trans. Check your owners manual and make sure you get the correct fluid
The CVT uses a special CVT fluid from the dealer.
