Default Question about non-Honda ATF

I know that using non-Honda ATF can cause poor performance while it is
present, but can it actually cause lasting damage to the transmission?

=========================

Very definately. That's why the Owner's Manual says Dexron III can be
used ONLY as a 'temporary substitute'. It lacks some of the special
friction modifiers that a Honda needs to keep it running correctly.
Honda ttrannies are very diferent inside than many 'normal' designs.
