ya if u've never changed it before, i recommend it. I'm at 52000 miles and i've changed it 2x already, gotta do it a third time. Use authentic honda atf-z1 transmission fluid, not aftermarket. I also highly recommend u install a transmission oil cooler to keep the temperatures down cuz under boost, ur tranny fluid is really being beaten hard.

I wouldn't use motul... it's been documented a LOT that honda AT's only like Honda fluid, to a pretty serious degree.
