Ask your dealer (the one who will have to honor the warranty) . . . Get
it in writing if they say 'yes'.

I wouldn't do it. Honda trannies are special, and so is Z1 from Honda.

Temporarily - maybe.

However - Honda automatic transmissions supposedly run best on Honda
ATF available from the dealer. Honda used to say Honda ATF was
preferred, but Dexron II/III was acceptable. I believe now they
recommend Honda ATF only unless there's an emergency.

I had horrible experience with the mobil 1 in my auto 98 civic ex. I just
changed it right before going on a long trip on I95 on a very hot summer
day, as I was coming on and off the ramps the tranny was flaring a lot! I
even checked the level a couple of times to make sure it was all there and
the level was perfect. My take is that it was too slippery especially
aggravated by extreme summer temps. There's a lot of discussion about
friction modifiers in Honda Z1 and I believe it. I drained and filled 3
times over the next couple of days with Z1 and everything was peachy.
