workshop manuel says 15/40 engine oil is this right?

 

honda manual tranny fluid

 

WOW i feel bad for u. every honda owner should know this. all honda manuals take REGULAR MOTOR OIL 10w30 ONLY even the k h and the f20c

read and fsm or even chilton. the synchros do not like regular trans fluid and WILL most likely grind prematurely

 

HONDA now recomends HONDA MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID
kids know everything...lol

 

honda has not canged anything get an fsm for the rsx i know what it says i have one. it says to use HONDA trans fluid OR regular 10w30 motor oil

 

so u changed from only useing regular motor oil to either?

 

Honda MTF

 

not really, i always use 10w30 and im a professional full time mechanic i work on many hondas a week

we also use 10w30 in our 8sec. hot rod race car

but i changed my wording to be 100% correct b/c honda always says honda lube/filter/gasket etc. before the mentioning the other product types that fit or work in their fsm

honda mtf from the dealer! i have had no problems, works great

 

I use regular 10w30 motor oil -- mobile 1, not honda O.O

Maybe that's b/c that's all I use, it was like the best oil for my benz which I was driving awhile (15w50), so maybe it's jsut me, but I <3 that oil

 

oh yeah i forgot to say sythetic 10w30 works well if not better too

 

 

the reason behind not using regular gear oil is that honda synchros are designed to be used with a light/medium oil most gear oils such a 80/w90 are way to thick and will cause premature synchro failure

 

Honda MTF

 

i would use the honda MTF. Thats what honda recommends. I have used 10w30 in tranny's, but the regular oil just needs to be changed more often.
