Default Tranny Fluid.

Anyone recommend changing the Tranny fluid every 20,000 miles? I drive my car pretty hard since the drive to work is very fun. And of course I'll use Honda within specs oil.

I use Red Line MTL. Smooooooooooooth.

20,000 is probably a little too often but hey, new fluids are cheap insurance.

i had honda mtf in my tranny and just recently changed it to 5w30 and its much smoother with the 5w30. honda mtf is a really thin oil. i would recomend 5w30 or 10w30 non synthetic. its cheaper too. so you could just change your tranny oil with every motor oil change.
