On what hole do i put the oil in the transmission? and how many bottles?

 

The top hole. the bottom one is the drain plug.

 

backup light switch. and its takes almost 3 quarts.lossen the filler bolt on the tranny and pour it in the backup swtich holes till it trickles out the filler hole then cap it off and put switch back in.

 

it just takes 1.5 quarts , then you gotta launch it a couple times and bang gears for about 10 minutes until the new tranny oil gets absorbed.

 

when i first saw the title i thought it was for engine oil. 17mm bolt on the passenger side of the tranny, fill untill it comes out

 

You may want to check your vtec oil too. That is a common cause of failure on older hondas.

 

can i use engine oil?

 

Its better to use Honda stuff - go there and ask for it, they'll know what your talking about.

 

i think its it 10-40, but syncromesh is suposed to be the **** in honda transmissions

You want to put engine oil in your tranny? WTF is wrong with you. Have you ever done any kind of maintenance on a vehicle. If I were you I would invest in a manual for your car.

10W-30 motor oil in the tranny is just fine man. chillax.

Relax man. 10W-30 in Honda trannies is mint

You sir, need to read the manual again

For ease I pull the backup switch with a 19mm wrench and just drip in 1.5 quarts

Alot simpler than jacking up the car, wheel off, taking out the top left fill bolt, making a big tube from the bottle to the tranny etc etc

Thats just me

 

Hmm ok, then why make tranny fluid when all you have to use is regular engine oil. And I think my manuals say to put honda transmission fluid in there, not 10w30 motor oil.

 

It says in the helms you need to replace the washer when you remove the sensor. Is it the same washer as the drain bolt crush washer?

I might just fill it from that backup switch as well...much easier to get at.

 

only for automatic tranns buddy. you can and should use motor oil, but i also recomend the synchromesh

 

I personally hit mine with a little sand paper because it was a tad rusty, its just there to stop leaking, just make sure its clean

Because its "proper" to use transmissions fluid, Im sure thats all a honda dealership will use

Go to any Mister Transmission/Midas etc etc and youll get the choice of what you want to run

They didnt even ask me for my ford truck, they know that it would work better with gear oil and not tranny fluid so they used it.

Not everything is set in stone man

 

I had really good luck once with full synthetic 10-30. Tranny had a 3rd gear problem and with this stuff it seemed to shift pretty damn good. But I too have also used synchromesh. I heard along time ago that Penzoil was going to come out with some stuff specially for Honda's...Dunno if that ever happened..

 

Synchromesh is amazing for shity trannies, but not worth the money to me for something that doesnt have a problem

Huh? A B-series takes a little over 2 quarts and a D-series takes a little less than 2 quarts.

Better read again, because Honda specifies both. Before they came out with Honda MTF, 10W-30 engine oil was the norm.

You should make sure you know what you are talking about before you lash out at someone. Dont you feel really stupid now?? BTW you sure can use engine oil.

 

just use kY... always keeps me lubed. yes you can use 10-30 engine oil.

 

fill it by just taking out the vss, just make sure you have on long *** funnel
