They don't make Mobil 1 synthetic oil for HONDA trannys. Mobil 1 is GL-5 spec. It'll eat up your syncros and bushings. Hondas are supposed to run GL-4 lube only...

Anyway, to wrap this up - this is what I use and recommend. Don't even bother whith anything else...
MT-90 in the summer and MTL in the winter. Or, MTL year around if you don't live in Arizona...

don't use synthetics - they are too slippery and do not give your syncronizers a chance to do their job - I use 5W30 Castrol or Valvoline

Well it really depends on the condtion of your tranny. If you have a shot syncro (like I do) then Redline will be a little too slick and cause more harm than good. I found that out after I put Redline in. So I opted for Dextron Automatic Trans fluid. Now it's very seldom when it grinds, I highly recomend it!
