Re: Synthetic vs. Non-synthetic Transmission fluid (shawnhayes)
I have yet to see where Honda "doesn't recommend" synthetics. They specify a weight only - no regard to synthetic or not. Can someone point me to a reference where they don't recommend synthetics?

Yeah I put redline in the tranny. it doesn't work to well. Had alot of problems getting it into reverse without crunching gears.

Re: Synthetic vs. Non-synthetic Transmission fluid (ejprimo)
i was only being sarcastic, sorry if i offended anyone
They DO recommend their MTF, but they also recommend 10w-30 or 10w-40 motor oil when their MTF is not available. Seems to me that any fluid meeting these specs would do. My 100,000 mile Honda transmission thinks so too, but hey? What do we know?
