Cvt or ATF fluid
Hello I just took my 2004 Honda Civic hybrid with 101,000 miles to a local Honda where a friend that is a mechanic did a side job for me. I had originally bought cvt fluid to replace in the vehicle but my buddy stated that I should return it so I can put ATF fluid in the vehicle instead. The reason being is because the dipstick reads "ATF" as well as the car manual specifying for ATF-Z1. My buddy went ahead and replaced it but I'm left considering whether or not he did the right choice. Do you guys think I should leave the ATF fluid in or replace it with CVT.
So far I have driven the vehicle about 20 miles since the change and want to take action ASAP before any potential damage can be done to the transmission

Would have sworn it took CVT fluid, but it clearly says ATF-Z.
