Changing transmission oil....6th gen

Ok, bought me 2qt of Redline MTL. First off, I believe that is the right stuff, so if anybody has anything different to say, please say it now. They claim it's ok for cars that have 10W30 as a substitute. Of course Honda says to only use Honda MTL, but they also say 10W30 is an accpeptable near-term substitute until proper MTL can be added.....they yadda yadda yadda about not having the right additives, etc. So any probs with Redline?

Of course I probalby won't actually change the oil for a few more months, but I'd like to scour for info now.

So anyways, reading the Helm's manual it doesn't sound all that tough. Jack up car, remove bolt, drain, fill, replace bolt, lower car, rinse and repeat. Anyhow, anything I should be aware of before I begin? It says to replace the washer, is that really necessary or should I just clean it off and then put it right back on when done?

Woops, guess there's two bolts....one for draining, one for filling.
