Default 99 Civic Auto Transmission Fluid change

I have a 99 Civic 4dr Ex and I am about to do my first transmission oil change. I already know where the fill and drain plugs are, but I need to know how many bottles of ATF do I need?

Thank you very much.

idk about ATF, but most honda fluids have additives that are different from other brands. for example, Honda power steering fluid has an additive that keep moisture out, whereas other brands don't have it.

basically, just use it because you know it works
