I read that Honda used ATF in the early days - which of the many ATF grades did you use Dexron 2 ?

Yes,
I used it in the car aswell
If you have an auto box in the car,
Change the oil!!
The box will last much longer

I've run an automatic car for over 30 odd years now John - I always used to do the double oil change, the second one being a 100 miles or so after the first one to allow for the Torque convertor. Sadly they started to make changing your own transmission oil difficult or impossible initially by the removal of a dipstick, so they can only be done by machine via the drain plugs on newer vehicles. I was a stickler for changing the pan filter as well. Never had an auto box go faulty.
As is the way I gave away the last of my ATF stock a couple of years ago.

I read that in the very early days Honda used fish oil in the forks!

Just the plaice for it I'd imagine.
I'm sorry, I just have no sole :o

Fish oil would have ensured the parts were Whale Oiled.
Tuna for higher performance.
