Can't go wrong with that. Also, I'm a big fan of the GM syncromesh, but it's kinda pricey

i was told that 5w30 or 10w30 oil was what i should use by a honda dealer. is that wrong and should i use only mtf from honda. i work at a chevy dealer so syncromesh is easy to get but will that accually work for a manual trans.

GM Syncromesh is awesome. It almost completly stopped my 3rd gear grind, and the shifts are buttery smooth.

You can put 10w30 if you want, and it'll probably be fine... but Genuine Honda MTF or Syncromesh is all I use. I did use 10w30 for about 1000 miles after I got my new tranny, just to get the crap out of it, then I changed to Honda MTF.
