Good question: $80/Gallon. I put about a quart in my In-Law's Civic that wasn't treated properly by the dealer (way low on the dipstick -- below the low mark) -- and 2.7 more quarts in the 'Teg. I have a tad leftover.

The best I can tell, it's the first change in 133K miles. The drain plug looked untouched. The concern: new fluid can be the "final nail in the coffin" for a weakened tranny -- or new life for a strong one.

Another note: at high-speed EOC, the transmission had a loud whine at 55+ MPH. Now that has disappeared -- no more noise. EOC is definitely hard on the stock tranny -- but it has held up fine so far...
