I am going to change the MTF in my 96 Accord LX. I plan on unsing Honda MTF but was looking for any other ideas. I have been reading that Pennoil Snycrmesh might be a good choice. I live in Michigan and I need true all weather capability.

THanks in advance!

 

Honda OEM fluid is the best.

funny enough, I'm going to a honda dealer monday to get mine changed.

 

how much is it to have it changed at the Dealer? I have a Helms manual and it looks pretty easy.

 

it is very easy, but I'm in college and don't have the tools or work space.

The dealer charges $40 total for the change.

 

i use castol gtx 10w30 motor oil (not an accord, manual recommends it)

costs me 2$ to change my trans oil. lol.

 

I would use OEM Honda.

 

I have heard that Honda MTF is the best, Better than redline and all those, and cheaper.

 

Penzoil Syncromesh is not good stuff, do some research. But listen to these other people and use Honda MTF

 

I will prolly use Honda MTF. But I belong to several car sites and some others had some other suggestions. One even said Pennziol Syncromesh was great for Homda MTs.

So I was just checking to make sure I was using the best there is.

 

I read on another Honda forum that I can use a synethic blend 10W30. True?

 

I think Honda didn't start selling MTF until maybe '97. Before that their manuals called for 10w-30 engine oil. Honda MTF is good in those older cars, too.

I've used synthetic engine oil before, it didn't hurt anything, but didn't work as well. The synchros are like little clutches. If the oil is too slippery they won't work their best.
