i saw a post like this earlier what trans fluid???

its not that hard to find its in the owners manual and any helms/haynes

for all those that dont know Honda MTF = honda 10w30 motor oil

any 10w30 will work fine INCLUDING synthetics, which actually maybe advantageous

pour both into a clear container observe color and viscosity by swirling Note: must use actual honda oil's to perform test as all motor oils differ in colors and slightly in thickness

DO NOT USE REGULAR TRANS FLUID its TOO thick and will cause premature synchro failure.

gm synchromesh should only be used temoprarily as a cheap and crude fix for your aching synchro's b/c its a thin oil and will also eventually have adverse effects on your trans

additives are for the most part NO GOOD either

 

actually honda recommends 5w30 but everything else is good.

 

yes in the motor, NOT the trans, all that i have mentioned is trans related info

 

hey im sure at one point you didnt know it either.....maybe not trans fluid ...but other things....thats why they created this HT forum....to help eachother learn.....help teach the newb's rather then telling them to search or bitch at them.

For all those who do know, Honda MTF is not the same as 10W30. The difference is the additives. Smell the MTF and a comparison 10W30. Then go smell some 90W gear oil. Which one smells like the gear oil?

Engine oil has additives designed to sequester combustion by products. Gear oil (MTF) has additives to better control the wetting and friction properties.

 

you are from dexel hill?

 

yup, was living in media

 

Are you suggesting that I can run Honda MTF in my crankcase as well as my transmission?

I agree with the following statement...<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Dogginator &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

*blub blub* fish oils .. GOD that stuff is rank, I spilled some on me putting a new trans in..
I still have not gotten the smell out of that hoodie.. it was my favorite one too

 

tranny fluid is some stinky ****

think of how often you you change motor oil compared to tranny fluid? the ratio is something like 25:1 atleast

there are diferent addatives in tranny fluid that coat and protect syncros and the other gears

tranny fliud is four something bucks at the dealership, dont be cheap and use motor oil, if you are going to do it, do it the right way the first time

so youre saying...dont use regular TRANSMISSION fluid in a TRANSMISSION?

 

I think he meant regular gear oil, its the thick stuff, like 80 weight.

Honda MTF rules, and Honda made it for a reason, the regular motor oil wasn't cuttin it. And since Honda actually cares about the longevity of there vehicles, they came out with a better product to use.
