Default B16a2 gearbox

Hi guys, I was wondering what oil people recommend for b16a2 gearbox ?

Honda recommends 10W-40 motor oil on the gearbox, I was wondering if someone has found something better for thoose gearboxes ?

thanks

I would say Honda MTF but the next best thing would be Syncromesh.

the new manuals actually recommend honda mtf, the new formula they came out with in 2009 is supposed to be just as good if not better than syncromesh. just a fyi
