Transmission Fluid

According to the Owner's Manual of my Honda Accord 2.0 Vtec 1999 (automatic), the recommended transmission fluid is the Honda ATF Premium or its equivalent, the Dextron II or III ATF.
Instead of the above, can I use the Honda Continously Variable Transmission fluid (which is meant for CVT engine)? Will using this fluid affect the car's performance, or worse still, damage the transmission mechanism or torque converter?

CVT Transmission Fluid is designed specifically for that application, as the stresses in the CVT drive are quite different from that in a normal automatic transmission. Therefore if you use that fluid in your automatic, it may not have the qualities required and you may get transmission failure. stick to what is recommended and you will not go wrong
