Don't put that stuff in, it's too heavy. Honda transmissions use basically regular motor oil, 5w 30. And mixing regular and synthetic is a no no as well. It should take like 2.5 quarts or so. Tell your dad thanks but no thanks, and send it to me so I can put it in my Corolla!

Man, there's plenty of **** to get: crummy multimeter, 2 quarts of Valvoline syntec brake fluid (best fluid EVAR), 12" ratchet extension, almost halfway to a compression tester!, feeler gauges for valve adjustment, the list goes on...
