Answer to all questions:
Use any ATF brand or even 10-30 motor oil. Just drive it a few miles and drain it. This cleans up any old metal or debris left in the gear box. It probably isn't that important to do this but if you have some free time it wouldn't hurt. One quart will not damage the tranny if it is for short distance.
The reason for 12k changes is tranny oil gets very hot since is next to the engine oil. only 1/8 of inch of metal separates the two fluids. This heat break down the oil and eventually tranny fails. It's a inexpensive alternative to tranny rebuilt.
After about 1k miles with Honda MTF I am actually enjoying shifting more than I thought I could. I am very pleased with the results.
